ZooKeeper

ZooKeeper is a centralized service for maintaining configuration information, naming, providing distributed synchronization, and providing group services. All of these kinds of services are used in some form or another by distributed applications.

Pros

    Cortex

    Engineering organizations grow faster than their processes. Services multiply, ownership gets murky, and institutional knowledge walks out the door with every departure. Standards that made sense at 50 engineers break down at 500. When something goes wrong, teams spend hours figuring out who's responsible which delays fixing the problem. When leadership asks how engineering is improving, there's no reliable answer. Cortex is the Engineering Operations Platform that changes this.

    Pros

    • Intuitive
    • Ease of Use
