Node Microservices Using Hydra
summary
A concrete claim: Hydra is a lightweight NPM package for Node that uses Redis to provide automated health and presence, service discovery, routing and built‑in load balancing. The demo shows generated services, a Hydro router and wallboard, a scheduler (mCP) that runs submitted JS across a cluster of eight boxes (seven Raspberry Pis + Arduino), hosting 18 microservices and 16 CPU cores, and graceful failover and load balancing working live. Tools used: Node, Redis, Yeoman generator, plain HTTP and sockets.
