It leverages the microservices 8 architecture pattern and provides a set of services which act as the building blocks of a platform. Micro deals 9 with the complexity of distributed systems and provides simpler programmable abstractions to build on. 10 11 ## Features 12 13 The framework is composed of the following features: 14 15 - **Server:** A distributed systems runtime server composed of building block services which abstract away the underlying infrastructure 16 and provide a programmable abstraction layer. Authentication, configuration, messaging, storage and more built in. 17 18 - **Client:** Multiple entrypoints through which you can access your services. Write services once and access them through every means 19 you've already come to know. An API Gateway, gRPC proxy, slack bot, web dashboard and commmand line interface. 20 21 - **Library:** A Go library which makes it drop dead simple to write your services without having to piece together lines and lines of 22 boilerplate. Auto configured and initialised by default, just import and get started quickly. 23 24 - **Plugins:** Micro is runtime and infrastructure agnostic. Each underlying building block service uses the Go Micro standard library 25 to provide a pluggable foundation. We make it simple to use by pre-initialising of local use and the cloud. 26 27 ## Install 28 29 Install from source 30 31 ``` 32 go get github.com/tickoalcantara12/micro/v2 33 ``` 34 35 Using a docker image 36 37 ``` 38 docker pull micro/micro 39 ``` 40 41 Latest release binaries 42 43 ``` 44 # MacOS 45 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micro/micro/master/scripts/install.sh | /bin/bash 46 47 # Linux 48 wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micro/micro/master/scripts/install.sh -O - | /bin/bash 49 50 # Windows 51 powershell -Command "iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micro/micro/master/scripts/install.ps1 | iex" 52 ``` 53 54 ## Getting Started 55 56 Run the server locally 57 58 ``` 59 micro server 60 ``` 61 62 Create a service 63 64 ``` 65 # generate a service (follow instructions in output) 66 micro new helloworld 67 68 # set to use server 69 micro env set server 70 71 # run the service 72 micro run helloworld 73 74 # list services 75 micro services 76 77 # call a service 78 micro call helloworld Helloworld.Call '{"name": "John"}' 79 ``` 80 81 ## Usage 82 83 See all the options 84 85 ``` 86 micro --help 87 ``` 88 89 See the [docs](https://github.com/micro/docs) for detailed information on the architecture, installation and use of the platform. 90 91 ## License 92 93 Micro is Apache 2.0 Licensed 94
