Running distributed data systems on Fly (kafka, zookeeper, etc)

[fritzblue]

How plausible would it be to run distributed data systems (things like kafka, zookeeper, even elasticsearch, etc) on Fly?

Do y’all run consul on Fly?

Any good fly.toml examples in this vein?

Thanks in advance!

Not Kafka/Elasticsearch per se, but you may find relevant pointers in these OSS fly-apps: NATS cluster, Postgres High Availability, and Redis Global Cache.

most definitely possible! in addition to the examples in the fly-apps org, our write-up on building a serf cluster might come in handy:

Very helpful tips, will explore these. Thank you both!
