Global Signalling Service
Open-standard signalling protocol for internet-scale applications. GSS evolves DNS with push updates, structured records, and lightweight functions for configuration, targeting, and discovery.
Structured records
CAP-001GSS records carry strongly-typed and structured data for applications to consume directly, like routing rules, service descriptors, and configuration.
Push updates and client-side functions
CAP-002Publishers push changes in real time. Built-in functions handle cohort targeting, rollouts, load balancing, and routing redundancy on the client.
One protocol, many uses
CAP-003Name resolution, service discovery, feature flags, and proxy configs share one wire format and one delivery path. Applications integrate against the GSS client library to consume any of them.
The next step after DNS.
GSS uses the DNS namespace, the resolution model, and the existing delegation hierarchy. Every DNS query has a representation in GSS, and zone administration continues to work the way operators already run it.
GSS adds push updates from publisher to subscriber, typed structured records, and client-side functions for cohort targeting and rollouts. Every record is signed and verifiable end-to-end.
Application configuration
Distribute feature flags, proxy rules, and runtime policies over the same protocol that resolves your names.
Targeted rollouts
Run canaries, cohort experiments, and regional rollouts with deterministic client-side assignment.
Modern service discovery
Publish service endpoints with weights, locality, protocol metadata, and routing redundancy as structured data.
