# Apache Dubbo Project [](https://github.com/apache/dubbo/actions/workflows/build-and-test-pr.yml) [](https://codecov.io/gh/apache/dubbo) [](https://github.com/apache/dubbo/releases) [](https://github.com/apache/dubbo/blob/3.3/LICENSE) [](http://isitmaintained.com/project/apache/dubbo) [](http://isitmaintained.com/project/apache/dubbo) Apache Dubbo is a powerful and user-friendly Web and RPC framework. It supports multiple language implementations such as Java, [Go](https://github.com/apache/dubbo-go), [Python](https://github.com/dubbo/py-client-for-apache-dubbo), [PHP](https://github.com/apache/dubbo-php-framework), [Erlang](https://github.com/apache/dubbo-erlang), [Rust](https://github.com/apache/dubbo-rust), and [Node.js/Web](https://github.com/apache/dubbo-js). Dubbo provides solutions for communication, service discovery, traffic management, observability, security, tooling, and best practices for building enterprise-grade microservices. > 🚀 We're collecting user info to improve Dubbo. Help us out here: [Who's using Dubbo](https://github.com/apache/dubbo/discussions/13842) --- ## 🧱 Architecture  - Communication between consumers and providers is done via RPC protocols like Triple, TCP, REST, etc. - Consumers dynamically discover provider instances from registries (e.g., Zookeeper, Nacos) and manage traffic using defined strategies. - Built-in support for dynamic config, metrics, tracing, security, and a visualized console. --- ## 🚀 Getting Started ### 📦 Lightweight RPC API Start quickly with our [5-minute guide](https://cn.dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/mannual/java-sdk/tasks/framework/lightweight-rpc/) Dubbo allows you to build RPC services using a minimal codebase and a lightweight SDK. It supports protocols like: - [Triple (gRPC-compatible)](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/reference/protocols/triple/) - Dubbo2 (TCP) - REST - Custom protocols ### 🌱 Microservices with Spring Boot Kickstart your project using [Spring Boot Starter](https://cn.dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/mannual/java-sdk/tasks/develop/springboot/). Using just a dependency and a YAML config, you can unlock the full power of Dubbo: service discovery, observability, tracing, etc. ➡️ Learn how to [deploy](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/tasks/deploy/), [monitor](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/tasks/observability/), and [manage traffic](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/tasks/traffic-management/) for Dubbo services. --- ## 🛠️ More Features Explore more through our hands-on tasks: - [Launch a Dubbo project](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/tasks/develop/template/) - [RPC protocols](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/core-features/protocols/) - [Traffic management](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/core-features/traffic/) - [Service discovery](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/core-features/service-discovery/) - [Observability](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/core-features/observability/) - [Extensibility](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/core-features/extensibility/) - [Security](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/core-features/security/) - [Visualized Console](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/reference/admin/) - [Kubernetes & Service Mesh](https://dubbo.apache.org/zh-cn/overview/core-features/service-mesh/) --- ## 📦 Which Dubbo Version Should I Use?
