Cloud Service Engine Overview

Cloud Service Engine (CSE) is a registry/configuration center contributed by Huawei Cloud to the Apache community. It provides a one-stop microservice development and governance platform, supports multiple languages and protocols, and is compatible with the Spring Cloud ecosystem. It focuses on high-security, high-performance, and complex service governance and is applicable to scenarios with high requirements, such as finance, government, and e-commerce.

The process of using a microservice engine is as follows:

  1. Create a user and grant ServiceStage permissions.
  2. Create a microservice engine.
  3. Upgrade, back up, restore, authenticate, or delete a microservice engine or change its flavors by referring to Managing Microservice Engines.
  4. Configure the microservice engine information in the configuration file of the developed microservice application, including the configuration center, registry center, dashboard, and governance policy. For details, see Developing Microservice Applications and Connecting Microservice Applications.
  5. Deploy the microservice by referring to Deploying Microservice Applications. When the microservice is started, it is automatically registered with the microservice engine.
  6. Manage microservices using the functions provided by the microservice engine. For details, see Viewing Microservice Running Metrics Through the Microservice Dashboard to System Management.
