Registry routing

Updated at:

When you use software load balancing, a consumer discovers services from a registry. By default, the Ant Group DSR registry is used, but you can also manually specify a registry for a service.

Registries

The following registries are supported:

Registry alias

Registry name

Standard registries

dsr

Ant Registry (Enterprise Edition)

sofa

Ant Registry (Open Source Edition)

consul

Open source Consul registry

zookeeper

Open source ZooKeeper registry

nacos

Open source Nacos registry

Special registries

mesh

Mesh pattern, uses Ant MOSN

gateway

Gateway pattern, uses gateway service discovery

local

Local pattern, used for local testing

multicast

Broadcast pattern

Configuration methods

  • Specify a default registry for global services

    To specify a registry for global services, add the following parameters to the application.properties file or as startup parameters.

    Note

    You can only set the default registry for global services to DSR, local pattern, or Mesh pattern.

    • Use the DSR registry by default

      run.mode=normal
    • Use the local pattern by default

      run.mode=dev
    • Use the Mesh pattern

      MOSN_ENABLE=true

  • Specify a registry for a single service

    To specify a registry for a single service, add the <sofa:global-attrs registry="<registry alias>" /> field to the code that publishes and subscribes to the service. For example:

    <bean id="helloSyncServiceImpl" class="com.alipay.sofa.rpc.samples.invoke.HelloSyncServiceImpl"/>
    <sofa:service ref="helloSyncServiceImpl" interface="com.alipay.sofa.rpc.samples.invoke.HelloSyncService"unique-id="">
    <sofa:binding.bolt>
    <sofa:global-attrs registry="mesh" />
    </sofa:binding.bolt>
    
    </sofa:service>
