Spring Boot 2.4.2 Gateway API with Zuul

Question

I'm trying to build an Gateway API using the new Spring Boot Starter Parent 2.4.2 but, for some reason, looks like the spring-cloud-starter-netflix-zuul isn't supported anymore and doesn't work with the new version! Is there any substitute?

Answer 1

From Spring blog:

Zuul 1 and Archaius 1 have both been superseded by later versions that are not backward compatible.

The following Spring Cloud Netflix modules and corresponding starters will be placed into maintenance mode:

• spring-cloud-netflix-archaius
• spring-cloud-netflix-hystrix-contract
• spring-cloud-netflix-hystrix-dashboard
• spring-cloud-netflix-hystrix-stream
• spring-cloud-netflix-hystrix
• spring-cloud-netflix-ribbon
• spring-cloud-netflix-turbine-stream
• spring-cloud-netflix-turbine
• spring-cloud-netflix-zuul

Replacements

We recommend the following as replacements for the functionality provided by these modules.

Current	Replacement
Hystrix	Resilience4j
Hystrix Dashboard / Turbine	Micrometer + Monitoring System
Ribbon	Spring Cloud Loadbalancer
Zuul 1	Spring Cloud Gateway
Archaius 1	Spring Boot external config + Spring Cloud Config

So you'd need to migrate to Spring Cloud Gateway.
