Service

This is an example of creating a micro service using the top level interface.

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.

Follow the install instructions - https://www.consul.io/intro/getting-started/install.html
Run Consul

$ consul agent -server -bootstrap-expect 1 -data-dir /tmp/consul

Run the example

Get the service

go get github.com/micro/go-micro/examples/service

Run the server

$GOPATH/bin/service

Run the client

$GOPATH/bin/service --client

And that's all there is to it.
