Hi,

the overall goal is build large application using Julia. Modularization is very important, and we would like to use a service registry for this:

“The service registry is a database populated with information on how to dispatch requests to microservice instances. Interactions between the registry and other components can be divided into two groups, each with two subgroups: Interactions between microservices and the registry (registration)Oct 2, 2015”

I was looking for a service registry SR for Julia. A SR

- registers services, i.e. Julia functions
- through means of a service registry
- Julia clients can lookup services by name AND version
- Once found, the location is returned and the local julia client can make a call

Do we have something like this for Julia? I couldn’t find anything. Remote calls and Channels are missing failover, versioning etc.

Thanks  
Frank
