Can Hystrix be used without Eureka/ Ribbon or other Netflix OSS modules

We have an infrastructure with our own API gateway, service discovery and load balancing. However for resiliency purposes I need to use Hystrix.

  1. With spring cloud netflix, can Hystrix (i.e. The circuit breaker annotation) be used without Eureka/ Ribbon or other Netflix OSS modules?
  2. Are there any dependency to Eureka/ Ribbon / Zuul for circuit breaker dashboard (i.e. turbine and stream aggregator) ?
  3. Can circuit breaker annotation be used in a non spring-boot application?

Spring Cloud Hystrix can be used without ribbon or eureka, just use spring-cloud-starter-hystrix. The hystrix dashboard can be used by directly going to each instances hystrix.stream one at a time. Hystrix can be used without spring boot if you use the Netflix package directly without using Spring Cloud.

  1. Yes
  2. No idea, run it and see if it pulls the dependencies.
  3. Yes if it's used with spring and you declare all the necessary beans that spring boot with otherwise instantiate. Otherwise no (more in the FAQ - Can annotations be used?

I would suggest you to google a bit before posting questions like this, as it's on the edge of asking for a tool, which is not a suitable question for SO.
