## Changelog
Changelog can be viewed in CHANGELOG.md file (https://github.com/Flipkart/phantom/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)
## Why Phantom
Phantom is the "ghost who walks" - an entity whose presence can be felt (in a good way) but its existence need not be acknowledged.
The Service Proxies fit this analogy well and therefore earned the moniker "Phantom". Motivation for creating Phantom and design overview
is described in this [Proxies for resilience and fault tolerance in SOA](https://tech.flipkart.com/proxies-for-resilience-and-fault-tolerance-in-distributed-soa-8a849bcf4873) blog post.
## Phantom Consoles
## Getting Started
The [Getting Started](https://github.com/Flipkart/phantom/wiki/Getting-started-and-Examples) page has "5 minute" examples to help you start using Phantom proxies.
## Documentation and Examples
Phantom project modules that start with "sample" - for e.g. sample-http-proxy, sample-task-proxy are example proxy implementations.
Documentation is continuously being added to the Wiki page of Phantom (https://github.com/Flipkart/phantom/wiki)
