Detailed Comparison
Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable. | It is a 100% local, privacy-focused, and open-source API client for testing GraphQL, REST, WebSockets, Server-sent events, and gRPC in development/production. |
Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.;Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.;Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.;Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration. | Works 100% offline, the way a local testing tool should behave;
No cloud services, no tracking/communication to external servers behind the scene |
