Question about service discovery a la Microphone

[highlyunavailable]

Service discovery beyond the primitives Consul provides is not something I have planned for this project, but I know @lvermeulen has created a service discovery library called Nanophone that uses Consul.NET and is "heavily inspired" by Microphone.

The deps for that project seem very small and self-contained as well even in netcore, so that might be a good thing to check out. If you want to create a library that uses Consul.NET for service discovery, I'm happy to provide best-effort help, but as I said, my scope for this project is entirely on exposing the API primitives that Consul itself provides in a safe and .NET-idiomatic way.

@PhilipDaniels You're welcome to have a look at Nanophone - thanks for the shout-out @highlyunavailable ! It uses Consul.NET for the Consul registry host (which is the only one I have right now) and supports Nancy and AspNetCore for .net 451 and netstandard 1.6 platforms. I will be releasing an update in the next few days which Version 1.3.0-alpha includes a.o. discovering the entire Consul service catalog (in passing state) and pluggable adapters for load balancers.

I'm in the process of trying to write something like fabio to load balance instances discovered with Nanophone. I called it Equalizer; hope to have something working this week, but the configurable routing is already there.

@lvermeulen and @highlyunavailable Thanks for the feedback. Yes, Nanophone looks much more like what I am after, nice to know it is under active development.
