Skynet is a Go framework and communication protocol for building massively distributed services, designed to work in polyglot environments. The repository is an archived version of the project, which was undergoing a refactoring toward SkyDNS and HTTP/JSON before development ceased.

Use cases

  • build distributed services in go
  • service discovery for microservices
  • build a polyglot distributed app
  • rpc framework for go services
  • connect services via zookeeper

When to choose

  • you need a historical reference for Go distributed service design
  • you maintain legacy code already built on Skynet

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new microservices project - the project is abandoned since ~2017
  • you need maintained tooling or support
  • you want modern service mesh or gRPC-based solutions
