## What it is
A lightweight Java RPC framework built on Netty for network transport, ZooKeeper for service registry and discovery, and Spring for integration. It supports sync/async calls, pluggable serializers, load balancing, failover, and service versioning.

## Use cases
- build a simple rpc framework in java
- service discovery with zookeeper
- learn how rpc frameworks work internally
- java remote procedure calls between microservices
- netty-based client-server communication
- load balancing and failover for java services

## When to choose
- you want a small, readable Java RPC framework to learn from or extend
- you already run ZooKeeper and Spring in your stack
- you need sync and async RPC with pluggable serialization

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, actively maintained RPC framework with community support
- you want a license-protected dependency (the repo has no license)
- you prefer gRPC-style IDL-based contracts or don't want ZooKeeper

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: rpc, serialization, middleware
- domain: microservices, backend, developer-tools
- platform: jvm, windows
- tags: netty, zookeeper, service-registry, load-balancing, spring-integration, java, linux, macos
