Service Discovery

All services require service discovery. The default is multicast DNS, a zeroconf system.

If you need something multi-host or more resilient use consul.

Consul

# install
brew install consul

# run
consul agent -dev

Use flag --registry=consul to enable the consul registry.

Protobuf

Protobuf is used for code generation of message types and client/hander stubs.

If making changes recompile the protos.

Install

Install protoc for your environment. Then:

go get github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go}

go get github.com/micro/protoc-gen-micro

Compile Proto

protoc --proto_path=$GOPATH/src:. --micro_out=. --go_out=. path/to/proto
