Eureka
=====

Eureka is a REST (Representational State Transfer) based service that is primarily used in the AWS cloud for locating services for the purpose of load balancing and failover of middle-tier servers.


At Netflix, Eureka is used for the following purposes apart from playing a critical part in mid-tier load balancing.

* For aiding Netflix Asgard -  an open source service which makes cloud  deployments easier, in  
         * Fast rollback of versions in case of problems avoiding the re-launch of 100's of instances which
           could take a long time.
         * In rolling pushes, for avoiding propagation of a new version to all instances in case of problems.

* For our cassandra deployments to take instances out of traffic for maintenance.

* For our memcached caching services to identify the list of nodes in the ring.

* For carrying other additional application specific metadata about services for various other reasons.
