Spring Cloud

aid: spring-cloud
name: Spring Cloud
description: >-
  Spring Cloud provides tools for developers to quickly build some of the common
  patterns in distributed systems including configuration management, service discovery,
  circuit breakers, intelligent routing, micro-proxy, control bus, and distributed
  tracing. It builds on the Spring Boot approach to simplify microservice development
  and operations across cloud environments.
