Hydra-Express is a light-weight library for building NodeJS and ExpressJS based distributed computing applications. It was announced at EmpireNode 2016.
Hydra offers features such as service discovery, distributed messaging, message load balancing, logging, presence, and health monitoring.
Using Hapi, Koa, Sails.js, Restify or Restana then checkout the Hydra Integration Project.
