To implement Eureka Client in your project, include the Spring Cloud Starter with the org.springframework.cloud group and the id spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client artifact. Also include spring-boot-starter-web in pom.xml and implement a REST controller to create a simple REST service to be registered with the Eureka Discovery Server. Let's see the following Maven configuration file:

<parent> 
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> 
   <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> 
   <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version> 
   <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository --> 
</parent> 
 
<properties> 
   <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> 
   <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding> 
   <java.version>1.8</java.version> 
   <spring-cloud.version>Finchley.M7</spring-cloud.version> 
</properties> 
 
<dependencies> 
   <dependency> 
         <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> 
         <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> 
   </dependency> 
   <dependency> 
         <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> 
         <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId> 
   </dependency> 
 
   <dependency> 
         <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> 
         <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId> 
         <scope>test</scope> 
   </dependency> 
</dependencies> 
 
<dependencyManagement> 
   <dependencies> 
         <dependency> 
               <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> 
               <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId> 
               <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version> 
               <type>pom</type> 
               <scope>import</scope> 
         </dependency> 
   </dependencies> 
</dependencyManagement> 

As you can see, I have added two dependencies here, one for the Spring web module and another for the Spring cloud Netflix Eureka client. You can choose to create this application as a Gradle project. Let's next look at the configuration of the build.gradle file.
