Kazoo is a high-level Python client library for Apache ZooKeeper, providing a friendlier API on top of the raw protocol. It includes recipes like distributed locks, leader election, and configuration management for distributed systems.
Use cases
- manage distributed locks in Python
- implement leader election across service instances
- store and watch service configuration in ZooKeeper
- coordinate distributed workers with ZooKeeper
- watch ZooKeeper nodes for changes in Python
- build service discovery on ZooKeeper
When to choose
- your Python services need coordination primitives backed by ZooKeeper
- you want a maintained, higher-level alternative to the raw ZooKeeper C/Java client bindings
- you need distributed locks, barriers, or leader election recipes out of the box
When to avoid
- your infrastructure uses etcd or Consul instead of ZooKeeper
- you need a client for a language other than Python
- you only need simple key-value storage without coordination semantics
