I am currently working on a spring boot micro-service which uses Netflix eureka for service discovery and communication with other micro-services. I want to include Akka cluster in my micro-service so that load can be distributed between Akka actors present on all nodes in the cluster.
I wanted to understand if we can use netflix eureka with akka cluster for node discovery or is there any other way?
Hi @Gurunath,
In principle, yes you can. I’m not aware of any existing implementation tough.
But you can bake your own!
You will need to have a implementation of https://developer.lightbend.com/docs/akka-management/current/discovery/index.html for Netflix Eureka.
And then, you need to configure Akka Cluster Bootstrap (https://developer.lightbend.com/docs/akka-management/current/bootstrap/index.html) to use your implementation.
Note that the Service Discovery is being moved to Akka core project.
https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/discovery/index.html#discovery
Next version of Akka Management will use the one from core and you will have to adapt your code a little bit.
Cheers,
Renato
