Kite is a Go framework for building micro-services where each service (a 'kite') acts as both an RPC server and client, communicating over WebSocket using the dnode protocol. It includes Kontrol, a service registry and authentication service for discovering and connecting kites, with browser clients supported directly.
Use cases
- build microservices in go
- service discovery for go services
- rpc between go services over websocket
- connect browser apps directly to backend services
- service registry with authentication
- bidirectional communication between distributed services
When to choose
- you are already invested in the Koding ecosystem or maintaining existing kite-based services
- you need websocket-based bidirectional RPC with browser clients in Go
When to avoid
- starting a new project - the last release was 2018 and the project is unmaintained
- you need a modern, actively maintained microservice or gRPC framework
- you need high-throughput or standardized RPC protocols
