Overview

Flux Capacitor is a Java-based, cloud-native, reference architecture using many Netflix Open Source projects including the following:

• [archaius] (https://github.com/Netflix/archaius) configuration
• [astyanax] (https://github.com/Netflix/astyanax) cassandra client
• [blitz4j] (https://github.com/Netflix/blitz4j) asynchronous logging
• [curator] (https://github.com/Netflix/curator) zookeeper client
• [eureka] (https://github.com/Netflix/eureka) discovery service
• [exhibitor] (https://github.com/Netflix/exhibitor) zookeeper administration
• [governator] (https://github.com/Netflix/governator) guice-based dependency injection extensions
• [hystrix] (https://github.com/Netflix/hystrix) circuit breaker
• [karyon] (https://github.com/Netflix/karyon) common base server
• [ribbon] (https://github.com/Netflix/ribbon) eureka-based REST client
• [servo] (https://github.com/Netflix/servo) metrics

In addition to the Netflix OSS components listed above, Flux Capacitor uses the following Open Source components:

• [graphite] (http://graphite.wikidot.com) metrics
• [guava] (https://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/)
• [guice] (https://code.google.com/p/google-guice/)
• [jersey] (http://jersey.java.net) REST
• [jetty] (http://jetty.codehaus.org/jetty) servlet container
• [jmeter] (http://jmeter.apache.org) jmeter load test
• [netty] (http://netty.io) io server
• [tomcat] (http://tomcat.apache.org/) servlet container

Flux can be deployed in any physical or virtual environment including traditional data centers, AWS, OpenStack, RackSpace, IBM Softlayer, etc.

Project Overview

The following project layout is typical of many distributed applications:

flux-edge

• Customer-facing REST-based edge service
• Uses Jetty as the servlet container and messaging engine

flux-middletier

• Internal REST-based middletier service called by the edge service
• Uses Netty as the messaging engine

flux-core

• Shared classes between edge and middletier
