In plain words

Flatend is a framework for building microservices using peer-to-peer networking, available for Node.js and Go developers. It simplifies the process of creating distributed systems by enabling direct communication between service instances without requiring a central server. The tool targets developers who need to construct scalable, decentralized applications. Flatend's main advantage is its P2P approach, which eliminates traditional infrastructure dependencies and reduces architectural complexity for microservice deployments.

    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.
