Master Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud - Step 33 – Executing a Request through Zuul API Gateway

The video tutorial explains the setup and execution of requests through the Netflix Zuul API Gateway. It covers launching necessary services like the Netflix Eureka naming server, currency exchange, and conversion services. The tutorial demonstrates how to register these services with Eureka and execute requests through the API Gateway, highlighting the logging process. Finally, it discusses routing requests from the currency conversion service to the currency exchange service via the API Gateway.

What is the primary function of the logging filter in the API Gateway?

• To convert currency values

• To manage user sessions

• To log incoming requests

• To block unauthorized requests

Which service must be running before launching the Netflix Zuul API Gateway server?

• Currency Exchange Service

• Zoo Logging Filter

• Netflix Eureka Naming Server

• Currency Conversion Service

What port is the currency exchange service running on?

• 8000

• 8761

• 8100

• 8765

How do you typically invoke the currency exchange service directly?

• localhost 8000 currency exchange

• localhost 8761 currency exchange

• localhost 8765 currency exchange

• localhost 8100 currency exchange

What is the port number for the Zuul API Gateway?

• 8761

• 8000

• 8100

• 8765

What does the API Gateway do with the request after logging it?

• Sends it to the currency exchange microservice

• Blocks the request

• Sends it to the currency conversion service

• Sends it back to the client

What is the purpose of routing requests through the API Gateway?

• To increase latency

• To centralize request handling and logging
