title: Microservices : Without Service Discovery With Spring API Gateway
body: <p>I'm having a really tough time with this one. We want to move our legacy app to  Microservice application(Spring-boot, Java 8) .</p>
  
  <p><strong>As per Architect, we do-not need Service Disvovery and API Gateway is enough for the doing Service Discovery and Routing.</strong></p>
  
  <p>Note that currently , deployments are  On premise server and we will have fixed number of nodes and F5/load balancer will be able to route the request to API gateway and then to the microservices.</p>
  
  <p>Can we survive with Spring Cloud API Gateway and no Service Discovery?</p>
