Lab II: Build a Dog Microservice

Now that you have a working Eureka server, you can build out a microservice that provides information about your dogs.

Spring Data REST

Steps 1, 2 & 3 below can re-use some of your code from earlier lessons.

In a new separate module create a Microservice:

  • Step 1: Create an entity called Dog. The dog should have three attributes:
    • Name
    • Breed
    • Origin
  • Step 2: Create a repository that extends CrudRepository for creating, reading, updating, and deleting Dog objects.
    • Note: This repository will not need to implement anything beyond an interface.
  • Step 3: Create a data.sql file to create sample dog data in the database.
  • Step 4: Create a microservice using Spring Data REST by including the proper dependency in the Maven POM file.
  • Step 5: Check that you are able to access your microservice.
