Dynomite it's a great solution for clustering with NoSQL Databases like Redis . Eureka is a nice Registry & Discoverability Solution. We can get best of both worlds using Prana . Prana is a sidecar that enables non-JVM applications to register in Eureka. Sometimes we could easily use multiple discoverability solutions like DNS, ETCD, Eureka etc... However not all discoverability provide the same benefits some tools are better suited for some jobs them other. I like ETCD and make sense onKubernetes world but if you are doing Java Microservices eureka makes more sense. The triad(Eureka, Prana, Dynomite) is great, This is great because then you can do discoverability on your database nodes, this is not great for several reasons like: Use the same tool for Registry / Discoverability Enable all sorts of dynamic programming which is great for DevOps Engineering Avoid AWS Throttling issues Make dyno clients more dynamic and this is a better solution them DNS like route5...

On the previous posts i was talking about the NetflixOSS stack if you did not read it you can check it here: * NetflixOSS the DevOps Stack for Microservices * Microservices with NetflixOSS: Karyon, Ribbon and Eureka part 1 We will download build and run eureka in a local environment this could be done in any OS like windows or Linux. So you need to have java instaled. Them you will need to get a java web server - could be a simple tomcat 8. Once you have tomcat 8 you just need to download latest eureka and install it into tomcat. So you will need to have git installed as well.
