Chaos Monkey, the first member, is a resiliency tool that helps ensure that your applications can tolerate random instance failures. - [Hystrix](https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix) is a latency and fault tolerance library designed to isolate points of access to remote systems, services and 3rd party libraries, stop cascading failure and enable resilience in complex distributed systems where failure is inevitable. ### Configuration & Discovery - [ZooKeeper](https://zookeeper.apache.org/) is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source server which enables highly reliable distributed coordination. - [Etcd](https://github.com/coreos/etcd) a highly-available key-value store for shared configuration and service discovery. - [Consul](https://consul.io/) Service discovery and configuration made easy. Distributed, highly available, and datacenter-aware. - [Eureka](https://github.com/Netflix/eureka/wiki/Eureka-at-a-glance) is a REST based service that is primarily used in the AWS cloud for locating services for the purpose of load balancing and failover of middle-tier servers. ### Monitoring - [Graphite](http://graphite.wikidot.com/) scalable realtime graphing. - [Riemann](http://riemann.io/) monitors distributed systems. - [Suro](https://github.com/Netflix/suro/wiki) is a distributed data pipeline which enables services for moving, aggregating, routing, storing data. ### Logging - [Fluentd](http://www.fluentd.org/) is an open source data collector for unified logging layer. - [Logstash](http://logstash.net/) is a tool for managing events and logs. - [Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/products/kibana) flexible analytics and visualization platform. - [Graylog](https://www.graylog.org/) is a fully integrated open source log management platform. ## IT Automation / Provisioning - [Ansible](http://www.ansible.com/) is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy. - [Puppet](https://puppetlabs.com/) from provisioning bare metal & launching containers to new ways to manage infrastructure as code. - [Chef](https://www.chef.io/chef/) automate how you build, deploy, and manage your infrastructure. ## Deployment & Continuous Integration ### On-prem - [Jenkins](http://jenkins-ci.org/) an extensible open source continuous integration server. ### SaaS - [Travis](https://travis-ci.org/) continuous integration and deployment service. - [Codeship](https://codeship.com/) is a hosted continuous delivery platform that takes care of the testing and deployment process. - [AWS OpsWorks](http://aws.amazon.com/opsworks/) provides a simple and flexible way to create and manage stacks and applications. ### Lightweight Packaging - [Capsule](https://github.com/puniverse/capsule) is a packaging and deployment tool for JVM applications. ## Containers - [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) an open platform for distributed applications for developers and sysadmins. - [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io/) is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. - [AWS ECS](http://aws.amazon.com/ecs/) easily run and manage Docker-enabled applications across a cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. ## Theory ### Articles & Papers - [Hexagonal Architecture](http://alistair.cockburn.us/Hexagonal+architecture) - [Microservice Architecture](http://martinfowler.com/articles/microservices.html) - [AKF Scale Cube](http://akfpartners.com/techblog/2008/05/08/splitting-applications-or-services-for-scale/) - [CQRS](http://martinfowler.com/bliki/CQRS.html) - [Event Sourcing](http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/EventSourcing.html) - [CALM](http://db.cs.berkeley.edu/papers/cidr11-bloom.pdf) ### Books - [Building Microservices](http://nginx.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Building_Microservices_Nginx.pdf) - [The Art of Scalability](http://theartofscalability.com/) ### Sites - [Microservice Patterns](http://microservices.io/) - [OSGi](http://www.osgi.org/) ## License [![CC0](http://i.creativecommons.org/p/zero/1.0/88x31.png)](http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) ## Acknowledgments Table of contents generated with [DocToc](https://github.com/thlorenz/doctoc)
