How we can integrate Springboot 2.x with Zuul 2

Question

We have a springboot application which is currently having gateway as Zuul 1. Our application is running in Springboot 2.0.0.M2. We are trying to upgrade our Zuul gateway to Zuul 2. We created a springboot application with Zuul 2 dependency and added webflux dependency to get Netty server.
The server starts fine, but we are still unclear that how the springboot application will understand that this is a gateway and filters needs to be executed. Although we have created Routes filter, but the same is not getting invoked.

Thanks in advance,
Ron

Good question, and from this SO question it seems that Spring Cloud Gateway is Spring's intended replacement for Zuul 1. Not sure about integration with Zuul 2. – Watteau

Thanks Tim, I was under an impression that if Zuul2 dependency been added to the Springboot app, then it might start recognizing as a gateway. But it didn't and not executing the filters which I have added. Just to make sure that I am not doing something wrong. – Jung

Answer 1

if you go through the video "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wocKqF15B8" at 18:00 from spring developers. They clearly stated that zuul2 is not going to be supported by the spring ecosystem. Also, the replacement of zuul2 (non-blocking calls) is a spring cloud gateway which is also non-blocking calls.
