When I first looked at Solon Cloud, I expected another opinionated microservice framework—the kind that tells you exactly which registry, which config center, and which message queue to use.
What I found instead was a different philosophy: a set of interface standards with swappable plugin implementations. You write your code against the interfaces, and switching from local development to production Cloud is a YAML change, not a code rewrite.
Let me walk through how it works.
The Core Idea: An Anti-Corruption Layer
Solon Cloud isn't a single product. It's a collection of 13 service interfaces backed by a plugin ecosystem. The official docs call it a "通用防腐层" (general anti-corruption layer), and the name fits.
