Zuul – Service Gateway for Spring Microservices – 2

This is a continuation of my previous post. I would recommend you to watch the video in the previous post. In this post, we will discuss filters in Zuul, besides custom routing.

Zuul gives you the ability to customize the routes to the services. For example, if you have a service URL like http://ZUULGATEWAY/serviceb/contact, to make it short you can map it as below. This lets you call the same service as http://ZUULGATEWAY/sb/contact

Filters

The main feature that Zuul give you is the ability to use the following 3 filters.

  • Pre
  • Post
  • Route

Please watch the following video for details about the filters.
