BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Season 5 - The Cylons Move to the Cloud with
summary
An implementation of a microservices cloud where Basestars are independent services computing and publishing Raider coordinates, built with Vert.x verticles, Redis-backed service discovery (replacing Hazelcast), HTTP clients, timers, circuit breakers and health checks. The demo runs Basestars and Raiders in Java, Kotlin, Groovy and Node.js deployed to the cloud with code on GitHub, and shows functional behavior but flaky issues such as ghost raiders after VM stops, incorrect scaling counts, and brittle resilience/stop-hook handling.
