Service Discovery: What's Out There and What Works

About the talk

You've decomposed a monolithic application into a set of microservices. Great, but now these services need to find each other and figure out whether or not they can take requests. Fortunately there's been great growth in tools for service discovery. This talk will take a tour of some of the most popular choices for service discovery - including Zookeeper, etcd, Eureka and Consul - and discuss their advantages and disadvantages.
