Consul is a distributed, highly available, and data center aware solution to connect and configure applications across dynamic, distributed infrastructure.
What it does
Consul is a networking tool that helps companies manage and connect their software services across multiple servers, data centers, or cloud environments — think of it as a smart traffic controller and address book that ensures the right services can find and talk to each other securely. It also monitors the health of those services and automatically reroutes traffic away from anything that's broken.
Why it matters for PMs
As companies scale and run software across many different environments (cloud, on-premise, hybrid), keeping everything connected and reliable becomes a major operational risk — Consul is a battle-tested, widely adopted solution to that problem with nearly 30,000 GitHub stars, signaling strong market validation. For founders and PMs, this represents the growing infrastructure layer that modern products depend on, and understanding it helps evaluate build-vs-buy decisions and vendor lock-in risks when scaling.
