18. Hydra features • Automated health and presence • Automated service discovery • Inter-service (P2P) communication with support for socket messaging and RESTful interfaces • Built-in load balancing and routing • Self registration with near zero configuration • Built-in job queues • Built on Node using native ES6 • Great with Docker
19. … and we organized it into a single, light-weight package
20. It’s demo time y’all! “Finally! Some code”
24. We’re ready for another demo y’all!
