Building a Support Agent in Go
Friday, June 19, 2026 in News
Most agent demos are a chat box wired to one tool. Real systems aren’t that — they’re a handful of services, an agent that operates them, something that triggers the agent without a human typing, and a gate on the actions you don’t …
Bringing an Open Source Project Back from the Dead
Thursday, June 18, 2026 in News
I open sourced Go Micro in January 2015. Eleven years later we just tagged v6. What a crazy and surreal experience that is. the project was basically dead or sitting stale for quite some time after VC funding dried up, I shutdown the business and …
Agents Across Frameworks: A2A
Thursday, June 18, 2026 in News
Inside a Go Micro system, agents already talk to each other. An agent is a service with an Agent.Chat endpoint, so delegate just calls another agent over RPC. That works as long as everyone is on Go Micro. The moment an agent is built on a different …
Durable Workflows
Wednesday, June 17, 2026 in News
A workflow that calls real services is rarely instant and rarely side-effect-free. It reserves inventory at step one, charges a card at step two, sends a confirmation at step three. Each of those changes the world. So when the process dies between …
Go Micro is Becoming a Framework for Agentic Development
Wednesday, June 17, 2026 in News
When Anthropic began sponsoring Go Micro, we committed to building in the open and reporting progress as it happened. It has been three months. Each post so far covered one change; this one is about what they add up to. Go Micro is becoming a …
When the Event Is the Prompt
Monday, June 15, 2026 in News
Almost every agent demo starts the same way: a human types a prompt, the agent responds. That framing is a habit from chat, and it hides the more useful case. The agents worth running don’t wait for you to ask. They run because something …
Integrating x402: Payments for Agents
Monday, June 15, 2026 in News
The last post was about agents that run on their own — triggered by an event, acting without a human prompt. Follow that one step further and you reach something agents can’t do yet in most systems: pay. An autonomous agent that calls an API, …
Doubling Down on Agents
Wednesday, June 10, 2026 in News
Go Micro made microservices easy by having an opinion. You called micro.New, and it composed the pieces a service needs — service discovery, RPC, pub/sub, config, storage — behind one interface, with defaults that worked out of the box. You could …
The Evolution of Microservices
Monday, June 08, 2026 in News
Every era of distributed systems has solved the problem the previous era created. Microservices solved the coordination cost of the monolith and created a distributed-systems problem. Containers and orchestration solved the deployment problem and …
Not Everything Should Be an Agent
Monday, June 08, 2026 in News
The last two posts were about agents — the abstraction, and then agents that plan and delegate, directing their own work over many turns. That’s the exciting part. It’s also, honestly, the part you should reach for least often. An agent …
