Atlas is a toolkit for building resilient and scalable distributed systems.
It provides with set of tools and libraries to help you work with distributed
systems, including:
- Service Registry and Discovery
- Load Balancing
- Circuit Breaker
Warning
This is an educational and recreational project, not a production-ready solution. It is not intended to be a production-ready solution, but rather a learning tool. For production-ready solutions, please refer to existing frameworks and libraries. This project is inspired by Netflix OSS, Spring Cloud, and other similar projects.
| Module | Purpose |
|---|---|
atlas-registry |
Service discovery registry — like Eureka |
atlas-beacon |
Client-side auto-registration/heartbeat lib — like Eureka client |
atlas-compass |
Client-side load balancer — like Ribbon |
atlas-client |
HTTP wrapper that routes requests using Compass |
atlas-shield |
(Planned) Circuit breaker & fallback handler — like Hystrix |
Atlas is not a framework — it’s a collection of standalone, interoperable tools that solve common problems in microservices and distributed system design.
Building atlas is a learning project to understand the principles of distributed systems, and to experiment with concepts like:
- Understand and experiment with service discovery internals
- Learn how to build a client-side load balancer
- Experiment with circuit breaker patterns
Coming soon! This project is still in early development stages.
