Spring Cloud Microservices is a fully containerized, Kubernetes-native platform composed of four independent Spring Boot 3.5 services. It handles user and course management with centralized OAuth2 authentication, service-to-service communication via OpenFeign, automatic horizontal scaling, and structured log observability through the ELK stack.Documentation Index

What’s inside
The platform consists of four microservices, each with its own responsibility and database:msvc-auth
OAuth2 Authorization Server — issues JWT tokens on port 9000
msvc-usuarios
Users REST API backed by MySQL 8, runs on port 8001
msvc-cursos
Courses REST API backed by PostgreSQL 14, runs on port 8002
msvc-gateway
Spring Cloud Gateway — single entry point on port 8090
Get up and running
Start databases and services with Docker Compose
msvc-usuarios (port 8001), and msvc-cursos (port 8002).Deploy to Kubernetes for the full OAuth2 flow
For
msvc-auth and msvc-gateway, see the Kubernetes setup guide.Key capabilities
OAuth2 + JWT
Authorization Code flow with PKCE — scoped tokens for
read and write accessAuto-scaling
HPA scales pods to 5 replicas at 50% CPU; NGINX Ingress enforces rate limits
ELK Observability
Structured JSON logs shipped to Logstash, indexed in Elasticsearch by service and date
