Abstract

Embodiments generally relate to selecting a service instance in a service infrastructure. In some embodiments, a method includes sending, by a service registry, a status request to each service instance of a plurality of service instances, where the service registry maintains a data store of performance information associated each of the service instances. The method further includes receiving, by the service registry, a plurality of status responses, where each status response is received from a respective service instance of the plurality service instances, and where each status response includes one or more performance characteristics. The method further includes ranking, by the service registry, the service instances based at least in part on the one or more performance characteristics. The method further includes performing, by the service registry, service lookups based on the ranking.
