Spring Cloud Connectors provides a simple abstraction for JVM-based applications running on cloud platforms to discover bound services and deployment information at runtime, and provides support for registering discovered services as Spring beans. It is based on a plugin model so that the identical compiled application can be deployed locally or on any of multiple cloud platforms, and it supports custom service definitions through Java SPI.

The Connectors project provides out-of-the-box support for discovering common services on Heroku and Cloud Foundry clouds and a properties-based connector that can supply configuration for development and testing.

core: The core library, which is both cloud-agnostic and Spring-agnostic. It provides a programmatic entry point for developers who prefer to access cloud services and application information manually. It also provides basic service definitions for several common services (databases, message queues) and an SPI-based extension mechanism for contributing cloud and service connectors.
