Toolkits

JVM

• Vert.X is a tool-kit for building reactive applications on the JVM.
• Finagle is an extensible RPC system for the JVM, used to construct high-concurrency servers.
• Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can "just run".
• Dropwizard is a Java framework for developing ops-friendly, high-performance, RESTful web services.
• Spray is an open-source toolkit for building REST/HTTP-based integration layers on top of Scala and Akka.

Go

• Kite is a micro-service framework in Go.
• Martini classy web development in Go.
• Negroni idiomatic HTTP Middleware for Golang.

Runtimes

• Karaf is a small OSGi based runtime which provides a lightweight container.
• Akka is a toolkit and runtime for building highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications on the JVM.
• Erlang/OTP is a programming language used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability.

Platforms

• VAMP build, deploy and manage microservices with power and ease.
• Fabric8 is an open-source integration platform for deep management of Java Containers (JVMs).

Infrastructure

API Gateway

• Kong is an open-source management layer for APIs.
• Tyk is an open source, fast and scalable API gateway, portal and API management platform.
• Camel empowers you to define routing and mediation rules in a variety of domain-specific languages, including a Java-based Fluent API, Spring or Blueprint XML Configuration files, and a Scala DSL.

Serialization

• MessagePack is an efficient binary serialization format.
• Cereal a C++11 library for serialization.
• Kryo Java serialization and cloning: fast, efficient, automatic.

Messaging

• NATS is an open-source, high-performance, lightweight cloud messaging system.
• RabbitMQ is an open source Erlang-based message broker that just works.
• ActiveMQ is a popular and powerful open source messaging and integration patterns server.
• Apollo is a faster, more reliable, easier to maintain messaging broker built from the foundations of the original ActiveMQ.
• Qpid cross-platform messaging components built on AMQP.
• Beanstalk is a simple, fast work queue.
• Nanomsg is a socket library that provides several common communication patterns for building distributed systems.
• ØMQ is a brokerless intelligent transport layer.
• Kafka is publish-subscribe messaging rethought as a distributed commit log.
• Disque is a distributed message broker.

Data Grid

• Hazelcast is an open source in-memory data grid.
• Galaxy is an open-source high-performance in-memory data-grid.

Resilience

• Simian Army is a suite of tools for keeping your cloud operating in top form. Chaos Monkey, the first member, is a resiliency tool that helps ensure that your applications can tolerate random instance failures.
• 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 is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source server which enables highly reliable distributed coordination.
• Etcd a highly-available key-value store for shared configuration and service discovery.
• SkyDNS is a distributed service for announcement and discovery of services built on top of etcd. It utilizes DNS queries to discover available services.
• Consul Service discovery and configuration made easy. Distributed, highly available, and datacenter-aware.
• Eureka 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 scalable realtime graphing.
• Riemann monitors distributed systems.
• Suro is a distributed data pipeline which enables services for moving, aggregating, routing, storing data.

Logging

• Fluentd is an open source data collector for unified logging layer.
• Logstash is a tool for managing events and logs.
• Kibana flexible analytics and visualization platform.
• Graylog is a fully integrated open source log management platform.

IT Automation / Provisioning

• Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy.
• Puppet from provisioning bare metal & launching containers to new ways to manage infrastructure as code.
• Chef automate how you build, deploy, and manage your infrastructure.

Deployment & Continuous Integration

On-prem

• Jenkins an extensible open source continuous integration server.

SaaS

• Travis continuous integration and deployment service.
• Codeship is a hosted continuous delivery platform that takes care of the testing and deployment process.
• AWS OpsWorks provides a simple and flexible way to create and manage stacks and applications.

Lightweight Packaging

• Capsule is a packaging and deployment tool for JVM applications.

Containers

• Docker an open platform for distributed applications for developers and sysadmins.
• Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers.
• AWS ECS easily run and manage Docker-enabled applications across a cluster of Amazon EC2 instances.
• CoreOS is an open source lightweight operating system based on the Linux kernel and designed for providing infrastructure to clustered deployments.
