Clay (Uber)

Clay (github.com/uber/clay) is Uber's Python microservice framework — a wrapper around Flask providing standardized RESTful backend services with consistent monitoring, logging, HTTP request handling, and deployment. One of the earliest Uber microservice-platform tools (2013–14), built to ensure the exploding number of SOA services used the same service-framework conventions instead of each team inventing its own.

Cited together with TChannel + Hyperbahn + Apache Thrift + Flipr + M3 + Jaeger as the initial platform scaffolding that kept the 2013 SOA transition from devolving into a distributed monolith. Superseded during 2018 Project Ark when Python was deprecated for backend.
