I have a team, and they are working on Spring Cloud. As of now, we are using a microservice. In the microservice, we need to use Spring Cloud just like how in Eureka Server, we need to maintain the server from Eureka, especially when we have multiple services and those services that are getting connected to Eureka Server. Then, when we send a request, Eureka Server and the gateway of Eureka Server take care of sending the request to a particular instance.

We use it for building cloud-native applications and APIs and it helps us effectively manage various aspects of our application.

We use it for managing traffic and API routing. It was on-premise, and then all the components were Spring-based components and Java-based, whereas, in the case of Google Cloud, it was heterogeneous, and few were Python-based. We chose Spring Cloud gateway as all services were in Java, and it was on-premise.
