Hydra-Express is a light-weight library for building NodeJS and ExpressJS based distributed computing applications. It was announced at [EmpireNode 2016](http://www.dev-conferences.com/en/talks/node-microservices-using-hydra-carlos-justiniano/1536).



Hydra offers features such as service discovery, distributed messaging, message load balancing, logging, presence, and health monitoring. 



[See our quick start guide](https://www.hydramicroservice.com/docs/quick-start/)



Using Hapi, Koa, Sails.js, Restify or Restana then checkout the [Hydra Integration Project](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hydra-integration).
