Documentation for the Go Micro framework.

## Overview

<img src="/images/generated/architecture.png" alt="Go Micro architecture" style="width: 100%; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;" />

Go Micro is a framework for microservices development. It's built on a powerful pluggable architecture using Go interfaces. Go Micro defines the foundations for distributed systems development which includes service discovery, client/server RPC and pub/sub. Additionally Go Micro contains other primitives such as auth, caching and storage. All of this is encapsulated in a high level service interface.

## Learn More

To get started follow the getting started guide.
