Spring Cloud Alibaba Dubbo

Introduction

Dubbo Spring Cloud is based on Dubbo Spring Boot 2.7.3[1] and Spring Cloud 2.x development, whether the developer is a Dubbo user or a Spring Cloud user. Easily navigate and move apps up at a cost close to “zero” costs. Dubbo Spring Cloud is designed to simplify Cloud Native development costs, improve R&D performance, and improve application performance.

Features

Since Dubbo Spring Cloud is built on top of the native Spring Cloud, its service governance capabilities are considered Spring Cloud Plus. Not only does it fully cover the Spring Cloud native features [5], but it also provides a more stable and mature implementation, as shown in the following table:

Feature	Spring Cloud	Dubbo Spring Cloud
Distributed configuration	Git、Zookeeper、Consul、JDBC	Spring Cloud Distributed Configuration + Dubbo Configuration Center[6]
Service registration and discovery	Eureka、Zookeeper、Consul	Spring Cloud Native Registration Center[7] + Dubbo Native Registration Center[8]
Load balancing	Ribbon（Random, RoundRobin）	Dubbo built-in implementation (random, polling, etc. + weights, etc.)
Circuit Breakers	Spring Cloud Hystrix	Spring Cloud Hystrix + Alibaba Sentinel[9] etc.
Service-to-service calls	Open Feign、RestTemplate	Spring Cloud service call + Dubbo @Reference.
Tracing	Spring Cloud Sleuth[10] + Zipkin[11]	Zipkin、opentracing, etc.
