SWIM membership protocol integration ?? #160

Hi @cjus,

Instead of centralized services registry using, how about the integration SWIM membership protocol.

Though we create Redis cluster services registries and load balance them, which involves again resource consumption and network hops.
Pattern matching, with no or minute dependency with location of the other MS, when there are being
called by another MS.
How matured in logging ??
Does Hydra was production ready ??

How far Hydra has these features ??If not is there plans for implementation?

Regards, Sai.

Hello @skalyanapu-mtuity

Good questions. Hydra is indeed production ready - as defined by companies which are successfully and significantly using Hydra in their own production environments. And there are perhaps more companies which use Hydra in smaller less critical areas of their infrastructure.

There are currently no plans to move away from Redis. To be honest, I see Hydra forking if it were to do so. And I don't see that as a bad thing. We feel there's a strong use case for Hydra as it stands.

Hydra has a very mature logging plugin based on Pino /logstash. https://www.npmjs.com/package/fwsp-logger

Have you looked at SenecaJS? http://senecajs.org/ It supports patterns and has SWM integration I believe.

Richard Rodger discusses it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67POODXANi8

@skalyanapu-mtuity do you have a use case where the things you're asking would be a serious deciding factor on whether or not to use Hydra? If so we'd like to better understand your needs.

Hi @cjus ,

We referred Seneca , before coming here. Hydra looks more flexible in creation of MS and maintenance than Seneca , few things we're looking for were does , Hydra have

SWIM compatibility , (you answered already) actually impressed with Richard Rodger's effort towards SWIM integration, which reduces extra overhead and maintenance of exclusive service registry.
- We already some MS in Spring boot , using Eureka , can we integrate Eureka with Hydra router ??
- Very matured logging.
- Circuit break mechanism.
- Node JS 8 / Typescript compatibility -- Promises, Async
- Very strong auth libraries.
- Seamless communication b/w MS.
- Support for multi tenant style.

These are some points we're considering right now , @cjus could you please provide your inputs ??

Regards, Sai.

@skalyanapu-mtuity sorry for the delay. We've just launched a major product at work. Hydra is a low-level library and many of the things you're looking for can be added as plugins. For example, auth libraries, logging and promises / async etc... We're currently focused on optimizations to Hydra but welcome community contributions.
