Stream

This is an example of a streaming service and two clients, a streaming rpc client and a client using websockets.

Contents

• server - is the service
• client - is the rpc client
• web - is the websocket client

Micro services need a discovery system so they can find each other. Micro uses consul by default but its easily swapped out with etcd, kubernetes, or various other systems. We'll run consul for convenience.

Install consul

brew install consul
