Neutrino alternatives
Neutrino is a high-performance, fast, and Cloud Ready Software Load Balancer with a Highly modular and Pluggable architecture with an efficient Netty Server and easy extensibility for new resolving and routing policies. It helps eBay in performing L7 Routing in Text Infrastructure, is horizontally scalable, and is cost-effective. Among its features is the Pluggable pipeline, which makes it easy to build new components for the pipeline. JVM is used as the run-time environment, allowing you to build components on any language running on the JVM.
It supports L7 Routing based on traffic rules, Canonical names, and URL context. Multiple port number is used to achieve L4 Routing. The solution provides configuration APIs and Traffic Metrics to create ease. High availability and performance are guaranteed by neutrino, which delivers massive throughput levels. Tests have been conducted measuring more than 300+ requests each second on a 2-core VM. Other characteristics are Horizontally scalability which enables any amount of SLBs to run next to each other and can work in Bare/Container/VM Metals.
Neutrino lets everyone extend it from resolving and routing policies. Add new modules in the Response and Request channel by using the Customizable Pipeline. The solution provides several Load Balancing Options named Round Robin and Least Connection. Multiple Switching Options like L4 Switching, L7 Switching, and L7 Context-Based Switching are also supported.
