Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a cluster of nodes configured to run one or more services. A gateway on each node is configured to provide communication between the node and clients. The gateways manage filters designated by the clients, wherein the filters are named based upon a naming format used to name the services. The gateways receive configuration updates broadcast by a failover manager. The configuration updates comprise service endpoint changes for services running on the nodes. The gateways provide notifications to clients when a filter name matches at least a portion of a service name in a configuration update. The configuration updates identify a configuration version, and the gateways may provide notifications with endpoint information from more than one configuration update version. Notifications may be configured to be sent only when the endpoint for a primary replica of a service has changed.
