get-local-endpoint

get-local-endpoint is a library that allows retrieving endpoints from environment variables.

This is designed for use cases where the API endpoint is defined via environment variables, which allows decoupling of service paths from implementation.

A good example of this in action is Google's microservices demo, in particular with the frontend service, which calls the various backend services based on an environment-driven configuration.

Usage

Include this in your POM:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.brymck</groupId>
  <artifactId>get-local-endpoint</artifactId>
  <version>0.9.3</version>
</dependency>

And use it as so:

String fooEndpoint = getHttpEndpoint("FOO_ADDRESS");
SomeApi api = new SomeApi(fooEndpoint);
