Fabio
Consul Load-Balancing made simple
Fabio is an HTTP and TCP reverse proxy that configures itself with data from Consul. Traditional load balancers and reverse proxies need to be configured with a config file. The configuration contains the hostnames and paths the proxy is forwarding to upstream services. This process can be automated with tools like consul-template that generate config files and trigger a reload. Fabio works differently since it updates its routing table directly from the data stored in Consul as soon as there is a change and without restart or reloading. When you register a service in Consul all you need to add is a tag that announces the paths the upstream service accepts, e.g. urlprefix-/user or urlprefix-/order and fabio will do the rest. Fabio was developed and maintained by Frank Schröder through January, 2020. Since that date primary maintenance has been the responsibility of ENA and the great community of users. -

Eureka
AWS Service registry for resilient mid-tier load balancing
Eureka is a REST (Representational State Transfer) 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. t Netflix, Eureka is used for the following purposes apart from playing a critical part in mid-tier load balancing. For aiding Netflix Asgard, an open source service which makes cloud deployments easier, in fast rollback of versions in case of problems avoiding the re-launch of 100's of instances which could take a long time. In rolling pushes, for avoiding propagation of a new version to all instances in case of problems. For our cassandra deployments to take instances out of traffic for maintenance. For our memcached caching services to identify the list of nodes in the ring. For carrying other additional application specific metadata about services for various other reasons. -

AWS Load Balancer Controller
A Kubernetes controller for Elastic Load Balancers
AWS Load Balancer Controller is a controller to help manage Elastic Load Balancers for a Kubernetes cluster. It satisfies Kubernetes Ingress resources by provisioning Application Load Balancers. It satisfies Kubernetes Service resources by provisioning Network Load Balancers. This project was formerly known as "AWS ALB Ingress Controller", we rebranded it to be "AWS Load Balancer Controller". AWS ALB Ingress Controller was originated by Ticketmaster and CoreOS as part of Ticketmaster's move to AWS and CoreOS Tectonic. Learn more about Ticketmaster's Kubernetes initiative from Justin Dean's video at Tectonic Summit. AWS ALB Ingress Controller was donated to Kubernetes SIG-AWS to allow AWS, CoreOS, Ticketmaster and other SIG-AWS contributors to officially maintain the project. The controller watches for ingress events from the API server. When it finds ingress resources that satisfy its requirements, it begins the creation of AWS resources. -

CoreDNS
CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins
CoreDNS is a DNS server/forwarder, written in Go, that chains plugins. Each plugin performs a (DNS) function. CoreDNS is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation graduated project. CoreDNS is a fast and flexible DNS server. The key word here is flexible: with CoreDNS you are able to do what you want with your DNS data by utilizing plugins. If some functionality is not provided out of the box you can add it by writing a plugin. CoreDNS can listen for DNS requests coming in over UDP/TCP (go'old DNS), TLS (RFC 7858), also called DoT, DNS over HTTP/2 - DoH - (RFC 8484) and gRPC (not a standard). Serve zone data from a file; both DNSSEC (NSEC only) and DNS are supported (file and auto). Retrieve zone data from primaries, i.e., act as a secondary server (AXFR only) (secondary). Sign zone data on-the-fly (dnssec). Load balancing of responses (loadbalance). Allow for zone transfers, i.e., act as a primary server (file + transfer). Automatically load zone files from disk (auto). -

Elasticsearch Node.js client
Elasticsearch client library for Node.js
Node.js client for Elasticsearch. The client versioning follows the Elastic Stack versioning, this means that major, minor, and patch releases are done following a precise schedule that often does not coincide with the Node.js release times. Language clients are forward compatible; meaning that clients support communicating with greater or equal minor versions of Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch language clients are only backwards compatible with default distributions and without guarantees made. If you are using multiple versions of Elasticsearch, you need to use multiple versions of the client. In the past, install multiple versions of the same package was not possible, but with npm v6.9, you can do that via aliasing. You will require the packages from your code by using the alias you have defined. -

Go MySQL Driver
MySQL driver for Go's (golang) database/sql package
Lightweight and fast, native Go implementation. No C-bindings, just pure Go. Connections over TCP/IPv4, TCP/IPv6, Unix domain sockets or custom protocols. Automatic handling of broken connections, as well as automatic Connection Pooling (by database/sql package). Supports queries larger than 16MB. Full sql.RawBytes support. It provides intelligent LONG DATA handling in prepared statements. Secure LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE support with file allowlisting and io.Reader support. Optional time.Time parsing, as well as optional placeholder interpolation. db.SetConnMaxLifetime() is required to ensure connections are closed by the driver safely before connection is closed by MySQL server, OS, or other middlewares. Since some middlewares close idle connections by 5 minutes, we recommend timeout shorter than 5 minutes. This setting helps load balancing and changing system variables too. -

Zappa - Serverless Python
Serverless Python
Zappa makes it super easy to build and deploy server-less, event-driven Python applications (including, but not limited to, WSGI web apps) on AWS Lambda + API Gateway. Think of it as "serverless" web hosting for your Python apps. That means infinite scaling, zero downtime, zero maintenance - and at a fraction of the cost of your current deployments! With a traditional HTTP server, the server is online 24/7, processing requests one by one as they come in. If the queue of incoming requests grows too large, some requests will time out. With Zappa, each request is given its own virtual HTTP "server" by Amazon API Gateway. AWS handles the horizontal scaling automatically, so no requests ever time out. Each request then calls your application from a memory cache in AWS Lambda and returns the response via Python's WSGI interface. After your app returns, the "server" dies. -

ExternalDNS
Configure external DNS servers (AWS Route53, Google CloudDNS and other
ExternalDNS synchronizes exposed Kubernetes Services and Ingresses with DNS providers. Inspired by Kubernetes DNS, Kubernetes' cluster-internal DNS server, ExternalDNS makes Kubernetes resources discoverable via public DNS servers. Like KubeDNS, it retrieves a list of resources (Services, Ingresses, etc.) from the Kubernetes API to determine the desired list of DNS records. Unlike KubeDNS, however, it's not a DNS server itself, but merely configures other DNS providers accordingly, e.g. AWS Route 53 or Google Cloud DNS. In a broader sense, ExternalDNS allows you to control DNS records dynamically via Kubernetes resources in a DNS provider-agnostic way. ExternalDNS' allows you to keep selected zones (via domain-filter) synchronized with Ingresses and Services of type=LoadBalancer in various cloud providers. ExternalDNS can become aware of the records it is managing therefore ExternalDNS can safely manage non-empty hosted zones. -

Qihoo360 Atlas
A high-performance and stable proxy for MySQL
Atlas is a MySQL protocol-based database middleware project developed and maintained by the infrastructure team of the Web platform Department in QIHU 360 SOFTWARE CO. LIMITED(NYSE:QIHU). It fixed lots of bugs and added lot of new functions on the basis of MySQL-Proxy 0.8.2. Currently, the project has been widely applied in QIHU, many MySQL businesses has connected to the Atlas platform. The number of read and write requests forwarded by Atlas has reached billions. Rewrite all lua code with C, Lua is only used for the management interface. Rewrite the network model and the threading model. Optimize the locking mechanism, performance improved immensely. When Atlas start, it will create multiple threads. One of them is the main thread, the others are working threads. The main thread is responsible for monitoring the connecting requests from clients, and the working thread only monitor the command request from the main thread. -
