Using consul as part of container service
What do you like best about the product?
I admire that Consul is relatively easy to operate. It is compliant with cloud-native standards which helps to integrate it. The best is that it can be seamlessly used with other Hashicorp stacks like Nomad and Vault. The essential documentation and tutorials are for all Hashicorp products sufficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss the documentation for fine-tuning and guidelines with troubleshooting scenarios. The REST API's of the consul are sometimes a bit inconsistent. I would like to see more docs/blogs regarding operation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Consul for keeping clusters of Docker nodes discoverable and observable. In addition we are using Consul together with nomad. In addition Consul kv store is used as storage for Vault.

Consul: Best in class service discovery
What do you like best about the product?
Hasicorp does everything right in terms of SaaS products, and consul is also on the same path. This is one of the best, if not the best service discovery tool out there. The main benefit of consul is that, it can be used in polyglot architecture as well which is not bound to any specific language.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although consul is best for polyglot architecture, but it's SDK for java is a little hard to understand, also auto discovery is not as good as Eureka. UI could have been a little better for consul
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well, in microservices architecture we all have to use some kind of service discovery so that load balancing can happen. In our project we are serving multimillion traffic through this consul. It's UI should have been a little better. But seeing the polyglot support nullifies the UI downside
great tool better than zookeeper
