If you&#x27;re more worried about connection and discovery semantics, you&#x27;d want to use Datawire Connect which is built on top of Quark. Quark is being used by companies that for one reason or another need&#x2F;want to build their own protocol. This is admittedly overkill for most people.<p>Datawire Connect integrates discovery as well as connection semantics (next week we&#x27;ll have a release that supports full Hystrix semantics, e.g., circuit breakers and timeouts and load balancing).
