Hi Ivan. If you are looking for some articles about Spring Cloud LoadBalancer and RestTemplate you can refer to my newest article https://piotrminkowski.com/2020/05/13/a-deep-dive-into-spring-cloud-load-balancer/. You will find there a custom implementation of static list supplier – something what you were asking for. You can also take a look on my video course: https://youtu.be/EJUtU_VGpuk.

Hi Piotr!, thanks for the article! I agree its a pity there is such a little documentation and working examples of the new Spring Cloud stack. I am now struggling to understand how can I configure the new Spring Cloud LoadBalancer with RestTemplate. Previously with Ribbon it was pretty much easy. Now the only tutorials I find are using Flux and Project Reactor for microservice communication. As of my project’s specification, I can’t use Consul or Eureka, so I would like to setup a static list of servers just like it was able using Ribbon. What is your opinion on this? Thanks!

In reply to Daniel Lopez. Hi. I didn't try Fabio...

Very interesting. We are currently using a balancer (Fabio) instead of a client-balanced strategy like this one. Have you tried both? Any reasons to prefer this one?
Thanks

Thanks. I don’t think they included support to new Spring Cloud Load Balancer since Zuul has been moved to the maintainance mode. For the details you may refer to my article https://piotrminkowski.com/2019/04/05/the-future-of-spring-cloud-microservices-after-netflix-era/

Nice article Piotr.
I am currently working on a spring boot project using spring cloud zuul (not nee cloud gateway) and I wonder if it is possible to integrate new spring cloud load balancer (instead of ribbon).
Thanks

In reply to Subramanian. Yes, it is. Currently they fixed some problems and for example with Hoxton.RC1 release train spring cloud gateway and consul works fine. I have also updated version of release train in my repository.
