Go-micro is a distributed systems development toolkit designed for building, connecting, and managing modular microservices. It provides a comprehensive framework for service discovery, remote procedure call abstraction, and event-driven messaging, allowing developers to create decoupled architectures that communicate asynchronously through shared message brokers.
The project distinguishes itself by integrating autonomous agent orchestration and language model tool binding directly into the service lifecycle. By exposing internal service endpoints as standardized tools, it enables AI agents to discover and execute functions, manage multi-step workflows, and maintain persistent state. This architecture is supported by a pluggable interface system that allows developers to swap infrastructure components like storage backends or service registries without modifying core application logic.
Beyond its core communication and orchestration capabilities, the framework includes a robust suite of tools for service management, including an HTTP gateway for protocol translation, granular access control, and distributed observability. It also provides a command-line interface for project scaffolding, hot-reloading, and automated code generation, alongside a web-based dashboard for monitoring service health and inspecting endpoint schemas.
