Apollo Configuration Center Guide

Overview

Apollo is a distributed configuration management system developed by Ctrip’s Framework Department. It enables centralized configuration management across multiple environments and clusters, supporting real-time configuration updates with robust permission control and process governance. Ideal for microservices architecture, Apollo’s server is built on Spring Boot/Cloud and runs out-of-the-box without requiring additional containers like Tomcat.
