Does Spring Cloud Stream project needs web server (Tomcat) or not?

I'm using Spring Cloud Stream to write messaging-driven microservices.

  • Project A: Producer (Spring Cloud Stream, integrated tomcat and its port: 8080)
  • Project B: Consumer (Spring Cloud Stream, integrated tomcat and its port: 8081)
  • Message Broker: RabbitMQ (amqp port: 5672)

My question is: For project A & B, do them need integrated web server/port (Tomcat) or not? Or just a common java application would be fine?

If you don't want to access Boot's web support (actuator etc), you can disable the web using the application builder.

Simply add

.web(false)

before the run().

Alternatively, just set remote.port=0 and a random port will be selected for each.
