Micro

Micro is a framework for distributed systems development in the Cloud and beyond.

Overview

Micro addresses the key requirements for building distributed systems. It leverages the microservices architecture pattern and provides a set of services which act as the building blocks of a platform. Micro deals with the complexity of distributed systems and provides simpler programmable abstractions to build on.

Features

The framework is composed of the following features:

Server: A distributed systems runtime server composed of building block services which abstract away the underlying infrastructure and provide a programmable abstraction layer. Authentication, configuration, messaging, storage and more built in.
Client: Multiple entrypoints through which you can access your services. Write services once and access them through every means you've already come to know. An API Gateway, gRPC proxy, slack bot, web dashboard and commmand line interface.
Library: A Go library which makes it drop dead simple to write your services without having to piece together lines and lines of boilerplate. Auto configured and initialised by default, just import and get started quickly.
Plugins: Micro is runtime and infrastructure agnostic. Each underlying building block service uses the Go Micro standard library to provide a pluggable foundation. We make it simple to use by pre-initialising of local use and the cloud.
