Introduction

Finders is a distributed service management platform that help you achieve the governance of microservices, such as service discovery, service registration, service health check. Finder provides a console UI that makes it easy to view service instances, instance status, and cluster node status.

Features

• Easy and fast to install
• Cluster deployment to ensure high availability
• Support for multiple-language client access

Concepts

Namespace

For coarse-grained service isolation, the same service can exist for different namespaces.Service distinctions are often used in different environments, such as development environment, test environment, and production environment.

Service

Services providing a collection of software functions with a unique identification by which specific services can be identified.

Cluster

All instances of a service can make up of one or more clusters. In addition to the namespace, the clusters can be further divided.

Instance

Represents ote the accessible network address of the arch software service, one service may have one or more instances.

Cluster Node

Cluster nodes are a node deployed in a cluster by finders services that provide distributed service management. Finders supports multiple nodes that form a cluster by configuration. Each node in the cluster, the external provides the same api service.
