Go Kit A Toolkit for Microservices
summary
Go kit packages a concrete set of idioms so Go can run large microservice fleets: it defines endpoints as RPC abstraction and uses request/response structs, composes middleware for structured logging and metrics (Prometheus exporters shown), and supplies service discovery + load balancing (DNS SRV publisher) plus per-instance circuit breaker per instance and rate limiting. Demo builds a JSON/HTTP string service (Uppercase, Count), proxies via a load balancer and uses retry (3 attempts, 100ms); the example runs and returns correct responses.
