Eureka

build

Eureka is a RESTful (Representational State Transfer) service that is primarily used in the AWS cloud for the purpose of discovery, load balancing and failover of middle-tier servers. It plays a critical role in Netflix mid-tier infra.

Building

The build requires java8 because of some required libraries that are java8 (servo), but the source and target compatibility are still set to 1.7. Note that tags should be checked out to perform a build.

Contributing

For any non-trivial change (or a large LoC-wise change), please open an issue first to make sure there's alignment on the scope, the approach, and the viability.

Support

Community-driven mostly, feel free to open an issue with your question, the maintainers are looking over these periodically. Issues with the most minimal repro possible have the highest chance of being answered.

Documentation

Please see wiki for detailed documentation.
