Thanks for the response! I agree that ZooKeeper is not exceptionally difficult to run, but it does bring in some additional overhead and complexity for a development team that is just trying to get started with microservices, for example sorting out the deployment and quorum bootstrapping. For a team that might not have an experienced systems or infrastructure engineer it could become a nightmare. By bringing in Exhibitor you've added even more initial complexity to the deployment just so you can get started gluing services together. That's what we're primarily trying to solve with Baker Street at this time: super simple deployment and usage; minutes versus days.
