circuit

Something like Erlang/OTP not really... Although here are some bits/pieces I've seen in Go community: * Project Iris http://iris.karalabe.com/ * Go Circuit https://github.com/gocircuit/circuit * NSQ http://nsq.io/ * Consul https://www.consul.io/ * SkyNet https://github.com/skynetservices/skynet * Grace https://github.com/facebookgo/grace Each having their pros/cons with varying quality. Replicating Erlang processes -> usually you use goroutines. When that level fails you fail the whole process and restart it using some supervisor. You may need computer level failover as well, depending on the requirements. For the servers/protocols part of OTP, the stdlib is usually sufficient to get things running; although may need some additions for rarer encodings. For machine level deployment there are cluster managers i.e. kubernetes, aws, google cl

The README on github provides a little more information: https://github.com/gocircuit/circuit I too am having a hard time trying to figure out exactly where circuit fits vs. other technology. It wasn't immediately clear to me if circuit launches the apps, or if it can start new instances if the current ones fail, or if it can grow the cluster if demand is the current utilization is too high, or what. How does this help me vs. writing a script in (the shell, some other orchestration tool, etc)? How much of the configuration does it handle? Does it replace etcd? Those are questions I could ideally answer myself by exploring the documentation links on the main page. Where / how does it store its own state? Edit: There is a comparison with Consul on the wiki: https://github.com/gocircuit/circuit/wiki/Circuit-vs.-Consul

He presented an earlier version of this, Circuit[1] at GopherCon[2] explaining it more. Probably not fake. [1] https://github.com/gocircuit/circuit [2] http://confreaks.com/videos/3421-gophercon2014-the-go-circui...

Time is my only limited resource. Which is why it is poorly presented. Don't forget to notice that along-side Escher (which took 2 years to invent) I am maintaining https://github.com/gocircuit/circuit Which is a major piece of software that earns me my salary. if you kickstart what I want to be a non-profit software research foundation, gocircuit.org and escher.io, then the doc would be brilliant and interactive in no time flat :)

I wonder if the authors are aware of Go'circuit: https://github.com/gocircuit/circuit
