What Go really needs for microservices is a library equivalent to Finagle[0]. GRPC is getting there, but we need some community standards for RPC, circuit break

What Go really needs for microservices is a library equivalent to Finagle[0]. GRPC is getting there, but we need some community standards for RPC, circuit breaking, exponential backoff, zipkin-like debugging etc... [0]: https://github.com/twitter/finagle https://github.com/twitter/finagle

HashiCorp is working on something like this: https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin

  Not really, that package is to build plugins in CLI apps, not really meant for RPC in a distributed context.

We do not have a Go implementation yet, but at Datawire.io we are working on a IDL that compiles into a number of target languages and generates client and server code with all those features. Go is on our TODO list after we add Ruby support. Check us out!

  An IDL + target language compilers is a necessary precondition for, but totally orthogonal to, something like Finagle. All of the transport and mechanical stuff happens above the IDL's domain.

    "IDL" is perhaps the wrong technical term for this because it's not really an IDL in the traditional sense. Quark is turing-complete and can be used to compile the protocol semantics, for example, backoffs, retries, circuit breaking, tracing etc right into the generated code. We're working on some cloud services to handle stuff like seamless service discovery and log/tracing information collection.

  Micro is a platform, not a library. Right?

    It's made up of a number of components. Each of which can be used on their own or in combination to run a platform. - go-micro - A pluggable RPC library for microservices - micro - API, Web UI, CLI and Sidecar - go-platform - A pluggable platform library - platform - A microservice platform; auth, monitoring, distributing tracing, etc
