Microservices with Go is a natural fit — Go's small binary size, fast startup, and built-in HTTP server make it the language of choice for Kubernetes-based microservice architectures. This module covers service decomposition principles applied to Go (bounded context → Go service, the monorepo vs multi-repo question for Go teams), service discovery (Consul, Kubernetes DNS, client-side vs server-side load balancing with gRPC), the circuit breaker pattern in Go (sony/gobreaker, the half-open state that distinguishes a circuit breaker from a retry loop), distributed tracing across Go services (OpenTelemetry SDK for Go — instrumented HTTP clients and gRPC interceptors, trace propagation via W3C Trace Context headers), the saga pattern for distributed transactions (choreography with Kafka vs orchestration with a Go state machine), and service mesh trade-offs (Istio/Envoy sidecar vs Go-native approaches). These questions come up at companies that have moved from a monolith to a Go microservices architecture.
