   Go Micro – A distributed systems development framework▲115

   I can't tell if HN is the right kind of place for this stuff anymore since people are so advanced in their use but I thought it was interesting to leverage my existing Go microservices framework and turn it into the core of what would provide tools for an agent cli or whatever beyond that. Extensibility is key. Thought I'd share and get a conversation going.

   Hi HN! We’re Yann, Edouard, and Bastien from Koyeb (https://www.koyeb.com/). We’re building a platform to let you deploy full-stack apps on high-performance hardware around the world, with zero configuration. We provide a “global serverless feeling”, without the hassle of re-writing all your apps or managing k8s complexity [1]. We built Scaleway, a cloud service provider where we designed ARM servers and provided them as cloud servers. During our time there, we saw customers struggle with the same issues while trying to deploy full-stack applications and APIs resiliently. As…

    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"…

    Go Micro – A Go microservices development framework▲68

    Hi all, I wanted to reshare this after some time. I've been working on evolving my service framework into an agent harness. As all of this AI tooling has evolved its become clear to me that agents, services and workflows are part of a core system of operations which would benefit from a single framework. Previously Go Micro only enabled service development. But now it includes Agents and Workflows. What does that mean? Well firstly services which are registered in a central registry automatically become tools for agents. The service endpoints individually become callable tools via MCP.…
