Ribbon plays an critical role in supporting inter-process communication in the cloud. The library includes Netflix's client side load balancers and clients for middle tier services.

Ribbon provides the following features:

  • Multiple and pluggable load balancing rules
  • Integration with service discovery
  • Built-in failure resiliency
  • Cloud enabled
  • Clients integrated with load balancers
  • Configuration based client factory

There are three sub projects:

  • ribbon-core: includes load balancer and client interface definitions, common load balancer implementations, integration of client with load balancers and client factory.
  • ribbon-eureka: includes load balancer implementations based on Eureka client, which is the library for service registration and discovery.
  • ribbon-httpclient: includes the implementation of REST client integrated with load balancers. It also includes the sample application in its test sources.

Please note that the default client configured in ribbon-core is the REST client in ribbon-httpclient. Unless this is changed in client applications, ribbon-core has runtime dependency on ribbon-httpclient.
