Palace V2

dotnet µServices cluster manager

What is Palace?

Palace is a µServices cluster manager.

It is designed to be a very simple, yet powerful, way to host µServices without bullshit.

• No specific tooling or configuration like yaml files
• No Docker
• No Swarm
• No Kubernetes
• No Podman
• No Virtualization
• No Container
• Only 1 zip file by µService with a very small size vs docker image

Requierment :

• Palace only works with dotnet core applications (V6+) in windows server (at moment).
• 1 Azure Bus mandatory account

What does Palace allow you to do ?

• Palace allows for on-the-fly installation of µServices on any server where a palace.host is installed.
• Palace allows for the rapid deployment and updating of microservices on any server where a host is installed, even if they are not in operation.
• Palace also monitors both the hosts and the services and alerts in case of failure.
• Thanks to Azure Bus, Palace can bypass all firewalls; there's no need for a specific network.
• By default, Palace is multi-datacenter and multi-cloud.
• In case of a failure during an update, a rollback procedure is provided.
