Moleculer

Microservices framework for Node.js and TypeScript with service discovery, load balancing and a built-in event bus.

Moleculer is a microservices framework for Node.js and TypeScript that puts service discovery, load balancing and an event bus inside the framework itself. It is installed from npm as the moleculer package.

The documentation lists an API gateway among its modules and says Moleculer also works as a regular web framework, with the moleculer-web module as the HTTP layer.
