Go + Microservices = Go Kit
summary
Go kit presents a concrete microservice architecture: core business logic wrapped by onion model middleware at the service, endpoint and transport layers so logging, metrics, tracing, circuit breaking and rate limiting plug in without changing core code. It ships adapters for HTTP and gRPC so the same endpoints run on both protocols, and integrates with Prometheus, OpenTracing and Fluentd. A survey of production services finds about 40 ancillary concerns to solve; Go’s fast compiler and non‑magical design make this maintainable.
