Nacos

Introduction

Nacos is an open-source platform from Alibaba for dynamic service discovery, configuration management, and service governance. It supports both DNS-based and RPC-based service discovery, hot-reloadable configuration with audit history, and integrates natively with Spring Cloud, Dubbo, gRPC, and Kubernetes — frequently used as an alternative to Eureka, Consul, or ZooKeeper in microservice deployments.
