* In connection pool, there is no guarantee that .reap() cannot execute the same time as .Shutdown() is called. It also did not benefit to eval shutdown when a select is run on the shutdown channel. * In server, same principle applies to handleConsulConn. Since we also have a shutdown channel, it makes more to use this than to loop on a bool variable. |

Consul

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, and Windows. It is recommended to run the Consul servers only on Linux, however.
Quick Start
An extensive quick quick start is viewable on the Consul website:

Developing Consul
If you wish to work on Consul itself, you'll first need Go installed (version 1.2+ 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:
$ go get -u ./...
$ make
...
$ bin/consul
...
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.
If you make any changes to the code, run make format in order to automatically
format the code according to Go standards.
