Sonar

Scalable service discovery and RPC library

Rationale

sonar is an OTP application that offers a solution for the service discovery and routing problem for native Erlang/Elixir nodes by broadcasting node configuration to the network and maintaining a hash ring per registered service.

All nodes are always aware of the available services on the network and will eventually reach a consistent state. From there on, you can call any service node in the network by different means:

• You can call all nodes registered for a given service
• You can call an specific node for a given service hashed by a key
• You can call n adjacent nodes for a given service hashed by a key for data redundancy

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding sonar to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:sonar, "~> 0.1.0"}]
end
