Core software

Tier I

Literally a spine of our platform, list of open-source applications we depend on:

• Apache Mesos - makes our datacenters multi-tenant, allowing multiple applications to work on the same machine.
  • Marathon - container orchestration platform for Mesos.
  • mesos-consul - Mesos to Consul bridge for service discovery.
• Confluent Platform - complete streaming platform for large-scale distributed environments.
  • Apache Kafka - a distributed streaming platform.
  • Apache Zookeeper - centralized service for providing distributed services synchronization.
  • Schema Registry - provides a serving layer for metadata in Kafka.
• Consul - highly available and distributed service discovery.
  • consul-template - generic template rendering and notifications with Consul.
• Docker - software containerization platform.
• Elasticsearch - distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine.
  • Kibana - data visualization system for Elasticsearch.
• Nginx - high performance load balancer, web server and reverse proxy.
• PostgreSQL - open source object-relational database system.
  • bottledwater-pg - data capture system from PostgreSQL into Kafka.
  • pgweb - web-based database browser for PostgreSQL.
• rsyslog - open-source software log-forwarding system.

Tier II

Available only on production environments or separate instances:

• Docker Registry - Docker images storage and distribution system.
• OpenVPN - open source SSL VPN solution.
• Sinopia - private NPM repository server.
• consul-alerts - a simple daemon to send notifications based on Consul health checks.
• marathon-alerts - tool for monitoring the apps running on Marathon.

Programming languages

Pre-installed compilers and runtimes, in case you need to build or test something inside a VM:

• Oracle JVM 1.8
• Go 1.7.4
• Node.js 7.1.0
• Elixir 1.1.0

Build tools

Various package management and build systems which are necessary for modern development:

• Scala
  • sbt - interactive build tool for Scala.
• Go
  • glide - package management for Golang.
• Clojure
  • lein - automating Clojure projects without setting your hair on fire.
  • boot - Clojure build framework and ad-hoc Clojure script evaluator.
• JavaScript
  • yarn - fast, reliable, and secure dependency management for Node.js.

Command line utilities

Baked in command-line utilities which ease problem solving:

• consulate - command-line client for the Consul HTTP API.
• ctop - top-like interface for container metrics.
• docker-compose - define and run multi-container applications with Docker.
• flyway - open-source database migration tool.
• htop - interactive text-mode process viewer for Unix systems.
• httpie - a command line HTTP client that will make you smile.
• iotop - a top-like UI to monitor I/O stats.
• jq - lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor.
• kt - commandline tool for Apache Kafka.
• ncdu - disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interface.
• pgcli - Postgres CLI with autocompletion and syntax highlighting.
• zookeepercli - simple, lightweight, dependable CLI for Zookeeper.
