I am currently working on a POC about client side load balancing.

I thought to use Spring Cloud Loadbalancer for that. But unlike Netflix Ribbon, I could not find a way to configure Spring Cloud Loadbalancer to work without a discovery server such as Eureka.

Please could you let me know if there is a way to configure it to work without a discovery server (just by giving a list of ip addresses) .

Thanks

Yes, by setting values in `spring.cloud.discovery.client.simple.instances`. Will look for a sample. – spencergibb Jul 01 '20 at 16:05

You might also want to read up on https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/2.2.x/reference/html/#instance-health-check-for-loadbalancer for this usecase. – OlgaMaciaszek Jul 02 '20 at 09:23

I was successful by following the comments of @spencergibb – tnishada Jul 30 '22 at 16:38
@SAtahAhmedKhan - I ended up hard-coding hostname when testing without Eureka. – Himanshu Bhardwaj Aug 02 '22 at 13:28
@tnishada - A minimal example in github can be very useful. – Himanshu Bhardwaj Aug 02 '22 at 13:28
