Improvements: - More modular - Building within docker doesn’t use volumes so can be run on a remote docker host - Build containers include only minimal context so they only rarely need to be rebuilt and most of the time can be used from the cache. - 3 build containers instead of 1. One based off of the upstream golang containers for building go stuff with all our required GOTOOLS installed. One like the old container based off ubuntu bionic for building the old UI (didn’t bother creating a much better container as this shouldn’t be needed once we completely remove the legacy UI). One for building the new UI. Its alpine based with all the node, ember, yarn stuff installed. - Top level makefile has the ability to do a container based build without running make dist - Can build for arbitrary platforms at the top level using: make consul-docker XC_OS=… XC_ARCH=… - overridable functionality to allow for customizations to the enterprise build (like to generate multiple binaries) - unified how we compile our go. always use gox even for dev-builds or rather always use the tooling around our scripts which will make sure things get copied to the correct places throughout the filesystem. |

Consul 
- Website: https://www.consul.io
- Chat: Gitter
- Mailing list: Google Groups
Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.
Consul provides several key features:
-
Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.
-
Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.
-
Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.
-
Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.
Quick Start
An extensive quick start is viewable on the Consul website:

Documentation

Developing Consul
If you wish to work on Consul itself, you'll first need Go installed (version 1.9+ is required). Make sure you have Go properly installed, including setting up your GOPATH.
Next, clone this repository into $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/consul and
then just type make. In a few moments, you'll have a working consul executable:
$ make
...
$ bin/consul
...
Note: make will build all os/architecture combinations. Set the environment variable CONSUL_DEV=1 to build it just for your local machine's os/architecture, or use make dev.
Note: make will also place a copy of the binary in the first part of your $GOPATH.
You can run tests by typing make test. The test suite may fail if
over-parallelized, so if you are seeing stochastic failures try
GOTEST_FLAGS="-p 2 -parallel 2" make test.
If you make any changes to the code, run make format in order to automatically
format the code according to Go standards.
Vendoring
Consul currently uses govendor for
vendoring and vendorfmt for formatting
vendor.json to a more merge-friendly "one line per package" format.
