Consul

Service discovery, configuration and service mesh platform

About Consul

A service networking platform providing service discovery, health checking, key-value configuration and service mesh capabilities, helping distributed applications find each other and communicate securely across environments. It offers a free entry point, with paid cloud or enterprise tiers adding hosted operation, advanced features, support or higher limits for teams that outgrow self-hosting. That model lets individuals evaluate it on real work first, then pay only when collaboration, scale, compliance or convenience requirements justify a subscription for the whole organisation.
