Circuit is a programmable PaaS/IaaS platform written in Go for managing, discovering, synchronizing, and orchestrating services and hosts across cloud applications, including multi-datacenter deployments. It exposes a hierarchical key/value control space with command-line and programmatic APIs, and integrates with Docker.

Use cases

  • orchestrate services across multiple datacenters
  • manage cloud hosts and processes from the command line
  • build distributed compute pipelines linking third-party utilities
  • codify installation and maintenance procedures as executable scripts
  • discover and monitor daemons on provisioned machines
  • integrate Docker container management into cloud workflows

When to choose

  • you need multi-datacenter orchestration with zero-configuration host provisioning
  • you want programmatic and CLI control over cloud infrastructure with a consistent key/value control space
  • you prefer a small-footprint daemon that coexists with existing architectures
  • you want executable scripts replacing textual runbooks and post-mortems

When to avoid

  • you need a modern, actively developed orchestrator like Kubernetes with a large ecosystem
  • your project requires container orchestration only without host/process-level control
  • you need strong community support and frequent updates, as development activity has slowed
