ServiceComb Engine Overview

The ServiceComb engine provides service registry, service governance, and configuration management. It allows you to quickly develop microservice applications and implement high-availability O&M, and supports multiple languages, multiple runtime systems, and Spring Cloud and Apache ServiceComb Java Chassis (Java chassis) frameworks.

The process of using a ServiceComb engine is as follows:

  1. Create a user and grant CSE permissions.
  2. Create a ServiceComb engine.
  3. Upgrade, back up, restore, authenticate, or delete a ServiceComb engine or change its flavors by referring to Managing ServiceComb Engines.
  4. Configure the ServiceComb 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. When the microservice starts, it is automatically registered with the ServiceComb engine. For details, see Deploying Microservice Applications.
  6. Manage microservices using the functions provided by the ServiceComb engine. For details, see Viewing Microservice Running Metrics Through the Microservice Dashboard to System Management.
