After working on tech platforms for years, it became clear there was no open source alternative to the types of tooling used within large tech companies. With that in mind we set out to build a new set of tools. In January 2015, the Go Micro framework was open sourced. Go Micro codifies a set of design patterns for microservice development including service discovery, rpc and pubsub messaging. Utilizing a pluggable architecture, Go Micro adapts to any infrastructure while maintaining the same tools and development patterns.
Today we’re working on a new set of tools that focus on fixing the issues caused by these large tech cos for consumers.
