Go Micro 
Go Micro is a framework for micro service development.
Overview
Go Micro provides the core requirements for distributed systems development including RPC and Event driven communication. The micro philosophy is sane defaults with a pluggable architecture. We provide defaults to get you started quickly but everything can be easily swapped out.
Plugins are available at github.com/micro/go-plugins.

Features
Go Micro abstracts away the details of distributed systems. Here are the main features.
-
Service Discovery - Automatic service registration and name resolution. Service discovery is at the core of micro service development. When service A needs to speak to service B it needs the location of that service. The default discovery mechanism is multicast DNS (mdns), a zeroconf system. You can optionally set gossip using the SWIM protocol for p2p networks or consul for a resilient cloud-native setup.
-
Load Balancing - Client side load balancing built on service discovery. Once we have the addresses of any number of instances of a service we now need a way to decide which node to route to. We use random hashed load balancing to provide even distribution across the services and retry a different node if there's a problem.
-
Message Encoding - Dynamic message encoding based on content-type. The client and server will use codecs along with content-type to seamlessly encode and decode Go types for you. Any variety of messages could be encoded and sent from different clients. The client and server handle this by default. This includes protobuf and json by default.
-
Sync Streaming - RPC based request/response with support for bidirectional streaming. We provide an abstraction for synchronous communication. A request made to a service will be automatically resolved, load balanced, dialled and streamed. The default transport is http/1.1 or http2 when tls is enabled.
-
Async Messaging - PubSub is built in as a first class citizen for asynchronous communication and event driven architectures. Event notifications are a core pattern in micro service development. The default messaging is point-to-point http/1.1 or http2 when tls is enabled.
-
Pluggable Interfaces - Go Micro makes use of Go interfaces for each distributed system abstraction. Because of this these interfaces are pluggable and allows Go Micro to be runtime agnostic. You can plugin any underlying technology. Find plugins in github.com/micro/go-plugins.

Functions ¶
func NewContext ¶
NewContext returns a new Context with the Service embedded within it.
func RegisterHandler ¶
func RegisterHandler(s server.Server, h interface{}, opts ...server.HandlerOption) error
RegisterHandler is syntactic sugar for registering a handler
func RegisterSubscriber ¶
func RegisterSubscriber(topic string, s server.Server, h interface{}, opts ...server.SubscriberOption) error
RegisterSubscriber is syntactic sugar for registering a subscriber
Types ¶
type Function ¶
type Function interface {
// Inherits Service interface
Service
// Done signals to complete execution
Done() error
// Handle registers an RPC handler
Handle(v interface{}) error
// Subscribe registers a subscriber
Subscribe(topic string, v interface{}) error
}
Function is a one time executing Service
func NewFunction ¶
NewFunction returns a new Function for a one time executing Service
type Option ¶
type Option func(*Options)
func AfterStart ¶
func BeforeStart ¶
func BeforeStop ¶
func Context ¶
Context specifies a context for the service. Can be used to signal shutdown of the service. Can be used for extra option values.
func RegisterInterval ¶
RegisterInterval specifies the interval on which to re-register
func RegisterTTL ¶
RegisterTTL specifies the TTL to use when registering the service
func WrapCall ¶
func WrapCall(w ...client.CallWrapper) Option
WrapCall is a convenience method for wrapping a Client CallFunc
func WrapClient ¶
WrapClient is a convenience method for wrapping a Client with some middleware component. A list of wrappers can be provided. Wrappers are applied in reverse order so the last is executed first.
func WrapHandler ¶
func WrapHandler(w ...server.HandlerWrapper) Option
WrapHandler adds a handler Wrapper to a list of options passed into the server
func WrapSubscriber ¶
func WrapSubscriber(w ...server.SubscriberWrapper) Option
WrapSubscriber adds a subscriber Wrapper to a list of options passed into the server
type Options ¶
type Options struct {
Broker broker.Broker
Cmd cmd.Cmd
Client client.Client
Server server.Server
Registry registry.Registry
Transport transport.Transport
// Before and After funcs
BeforeStart []func() error
BeforeStop []func() error
AfterStart []func() error
AfterStop []func() error
// Other options for implementations of the interface
// can be stored in a context
Context context.Context
}
type Publisher ¶
type Publisher interface {
Publish(ctx context.Context, msg interface{}, opts ...client.PublishOption) error
}
Publisher is syntactic sugar for publishing
type Service ¶
type Service interface {
Init(...Option)
Options() Options
Client() client.Client
Server() server.Server
Run() error
String() string
}
Service is an interface that wraps the lower level libraries within go-micro. Its a convenience method for building and initialising services.
func FromContext ¶
FromContext retrieves a Service from the Context.
func NewService ¶
NewService creates and returns a new Service based on the packages within.
