Forklift is separated into individual libraries that make up the framework. forklift-server will bring in all the necessary dependencies and plugins to use Forklift with ActiveMQ.
- Forklift-Server
-
Forklift packaged as a set of server based components that can be executed at runtime.
- Forklift-Activemq
-
A connector for ActiveMQ.
- Forklift-Kafka
-
A connector for Kafka.
- Forklift-Stats
-
A plugin for Forklift that collects stats for each message and places them in properties for storage by other plugins.
- Forklift-Retry
-
A broker agnostic implementation of retries. Uses elastic search for storage.
- Forklift-Replay
-
A broker agnostic implementation of message replay logging. Uses elastic search for storage. Kibana makes a great tool to view Forklift replay logs.
- Forklift-Datadog
-
A plugin for monitoring the lifecycle events within Datadog metrics.
