    Micro – Platform APIs built for developers▲7

    Hey all, Just reposting after about a year since the last time I shared. Micro is a platform for API development. It combines a lot of the core primitives you'd expect from a cloud platform as a single logical server. The closest equivalent is Dapr.io. It bakes in the concept of environments, source to running builds and a framework for Go development. It's useful where you want to write backend services in Go and expose them through a single API (also included in Micro). We once wrote about "Netlify for the frontend, Micro for the backend"…
