# Service
|
|
|
|
This is an example of creating a micro service.
|
|
|
|
## Prereqs
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install consul
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Run Consul
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
consul agent -dev -advertise=127.0.0.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run the example
|
|
|
|
Run the service
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
go run main.go
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the client
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
go run main.go --run_client
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And that's all there is to it.
