Atomix
An advanced platform for building fault-tolerant distributed systems on the JVM
Atomix 2.0 is coming!
The current master branch is the current working branch for Atomix 2.0 development. The new release is the culmination of years of experience working with and building on the protocols in Atomix and Copycat to create more scalable, dynamic framework for building fault-tolerant distributed systems.
The core of Atomix 2.0 features the following high-level abstractions:
- Cluster management
- Cluster communication
- Point-to-point messaging
- Publish-subscribe messaging
- Scalable, persistent, consistent distributed systems primitives
- Leader election
- Locks
- Maps
- Sets
- Trees
- Counters
- Global ID generators
- Work queues
- Transactions
- Custom primitives
- etc
- Scalable, ephemeral, eventually consistent primitives
- Maps
- Sets
- Transactions
Underlying these abstractions is a variety of generic implementations of common distributed systems protocols and algorithms:
- Raft consensus protocol (formerly Copycat)
- Partitioning (partitioned Raft clusters)
- Failure detection (phi acrrual failure detectors)
- Gossip
- Anti-entropy
- Primary-backup replication
- Time protocols (logical clocks, vector clocks, etc)
- etc
Copycat has also undergone significant refactoring for better performance, scalability, and fault tolerance in Atomix 2.0. It can now be found in the Raft module.
Atomix 2.0 is targeted for release in fall 2017
