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
brew install consul
Alternative instructions - https://www.consul.io/intro/getting-started/install.html
Run Consul
consul agent -dev -advertise=127.0.0.1
Run the example
Run the service
go run main.go
Run the client
go run main.go --run_client
And that's all there is to it.
