Go Micro is a pluggable RPC framework for distributed systems development.

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. It comes with built in support for {json,proto}-rpc encoding, consul or multicast dns for service discovery, http for communication and random hashed client side load balancing.

Plugins are available at [github.com/micro/go-plugins](https://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
- **Load Balancing** - Client side load balancing built on discovery
- **Message Encoding** - Dynamic encoding based on content-type with protobuf and json support
- **Sync Streaming** - RPC based communication with support for bidirectional streaming
- **Async Messaging** - Native PubSub messaging built in for event driven architectures
