Registry

The Registry interface defines an API for announcing and resolving services in a service registry. A service registry is a key primitive in distributed systems, where multiple applications coordinate to accomplish an objective. The registry allows applications can dynamically look up the locations of needed services, and those services can be scaled out and in on demand, which more instances started when load increases and stopped when load subsides.
