Toki

A configuration based orchestration rules engine that's protocol agnostic.

Lead Maintainer: Cesar Hernandez

Introduction

Toki is an orchestration layer for microservice based architectures. It is both HTTP server agnostic, and downstream protocol agnostic. It's configuration based and allows you to bring your own logger.

Key Features

• Configuration based using version-able JSON files. Easy to write, easy to deploy.

• Bring your own HTTP framework so you can use Express, Koa, Hapi or whatever else floats your boat.

• Protocol Agnostic so you can speak whatever your microservices are speaking. HTTP, RabbitMQ, etc.

• Supports any standard logger so you can plug it into your existing log setup.

Getting Started

To allow Toki to be used by any http framework, Toki uses small modules we call 'bridges'. The bridge appropriate for your webserver framework is where you should start:

• Hapi

Don't see a bridge you need? Please feel free to contribute one. Bridges are easy to write, we promise!

You can also peek at our reference implementation, which provides a fully setup and ready to roll Toki implementation out of the box that's heavily commented and explained.
