What if we would like to expose a single Swagger documentation for all microservices deployed on Kubernetes? Well, here things are getting complicated… We can run a container with Swagger UI, and map all paths exposed by the ingress manually, but it is not a good solution…
In that case, we can use Spring Cloud Kubernetes Ribbon one more time, this time together with Spring Cloud Netflix Zuul. Zuul will act as a gateway only for serving the Swagger API.
Here’s the list of dependencies used in my gateway-service project.
