Introduction & Overview
Microservices are an architectural
approach where an application is
composed of small, independent
services.
Significance of Microservices
1. Scalability
2. Flexibility and Agility.
3. Fault Isolation.
4. Technology Diversity.
Why Go for
Microservices?
simplicity, concurrency
model, and performance.

5. Security (OAuth or JWT)
6. Observability and Monitoring

Auto-Scaling)
Challenges & Solutions
Developing microservices with Go
offers many advantages, but like any
architectural approach, it comes with
its own set of challenges.
Challenge Solution
Service Discovery and Communication. Utilize Consul or etcd for service discovery. Choose gRPC or
RESTful APIs for communication.
Error Handling and Resilience Implement circuit breakers, timeouts, retries, and fallback
mechanisms. Use bulkheads for isolation.
Code Duplication Extract common functionality into shared libraries. Use code
generation tools.
Documentation and Communication Adopt a documentation-first approach. Use Swagger for API
documentation. Establish clear communication channels.
