This document discusses microservices and how to build them using Go. It describes the benefits of microservices over monolithic architectures, such as improved scalability, resilience, and ease of deployment. Some key aspects of building microservices with Go that are covered include making services autonomous and focused, using a domain-driven design, implementing service discovery, API gateways, and messaging between services using events. The document also provides guidance on important operational concerns like security, monitoring, and testing when building microservices applications.
