Welcome to Clusterfest!
Clusterfest is an extensible opensource framework built in java for managing the complexity of a multi machine software system.
History
Clusterfest was created at Flaptor as a part of Hounder to manage multi machine installations, where the number of nodes made administering the cluster a tedious task. Its primary aim was to be able to check the status of all nodes of that Hounder installation in a single screen.
Soon it became obvious that that was the perfect ground for deploying more clustering functionality. Thus, we refactored this code into a multi purpose, extensible clustering framework.
Seeing the benefits of using this framework in Hounder, and how it could be used in other projects, we decided to open source it through the Flaptor Open Source initiative.
