Phantom is a high performance proxy for accessing distributed services. It is an RPC system with support for different transports and protocols. Phantom is inspired by Twitter Finagle and builds on the capabilities of technologies like Netty, Unix Domain Sockets, Netflix Hystrix and Spring. Phantom proxies have been used to serve hundreds of millions of API calls in production deployments at Flipkart.

Phantom is the "ghost who walks" - an entity whose presence can be felt (in a good way) but its existence need not be acknowledged. The Service Proxies fit this analogy well and therefore earned the moniker "Phantom".
