Hystrix vs Laravel Homestead: What are the differences?

What is Hystrix? Latency and fault tolerance library. Hystrix is a latency and fault tolerance library designed to isolate points of access to remote systems, services and 3rd party libraries, stop cascading failure and enable resilience in complex distributed systems where failure is inevitable.

What is Laravel Homestead? The official Laravel local development environment (Vagrant box). Laravel Homestead is an official, pre-packaged Vagrant "box" that provides you a wonderful development environment without requiring you to install PHP, HHVM, a web server, and any other server software on your local machine. Homestead runs on any Windows, Mac, or Linux system, and includes the Nginx web server, PHP 5.6, MySQL, Postgres, Redis, Memcached, and all of the other goodies you need to develop amazing Laravel applications.

Hystrix belongs to "Fault Tolerance Tools" category of the tech stack, while Laravel Homestead can be primarily classified under "Virtual Machine".

Some of the features offered by Hystrix are:

  • Latency and Fault Tolerance
  • Realtime Operations
  • Concurrency

On the other hand, Laravel Homestead provides the following key features:

  • Ubuntu 14.04
  • PHP 5.6
  • HHVM

Hystrix and Laravel Homestead are both open source tools. It seems that Hystrix with 17.7K GitHub stars and 3.63K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Laravel Homestead with 3.14K GitHub stars and 1.32K GitHub forks.

According to the StackShare community, Laravel Homestead has a broader approval, being mentioned in 21 company stacks & 24 developers stacks; compared to Hystrix, which is listed in 12 company stacks and 8 developer stacks.
