Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Thanks, that made now more sense. I'd put this condensed together with https://micro.dev/blog/2022/09/27/real-world-micro-services.... more prominently to the readme of https://github.com/micro/services ! Looking at that github alone makes it hard to commect the context.

HN discussion> why is everyone calling it MicroX Probably because "micro" means "small" in Greek, and the whole Kubernetes uses Greek. > There can be only one Micro. https://micro.dev Call me grumpy, but I spent 5 minutes on the site and still have no idea what "micro.dev" is other than "a platform for cloud-native development" (yeah, what isn't nowadays?)

HN discussionIs this anything like the canonical distribution called microk8s? https://microk8s.io/ On the naming front, why is everyone calling it MicroX. There can be only one Micro. https://micro.dev

HN discussionI believe it's a shortening of Micro -> m3o with the 3 representing the number of removed letters. In the style of Kubernetes -> k8s, accessibility -> a11y, etc. You can find out more about Micro at https://micro.dev and https://github.com/micro (I am not affiliated).

on “Go Framework: No Framework?”This 100%. I think the people largely arguing for no frameworks have no idea what real productivity looks like at large scale engineering orgs. This mostly means you are not handcrafting libraries. There is a dedicated team who manages platform tooling including the frameworks/SDKs you use. Product teams may contribute to that but they will mostly be consumers. I always equate this to car manufacturing. I am not buy…

on “Go Framework: No Framework?”Had similar goals. Started by writing Go interfaces for it with Go Micro - https://go-micro.dev then opted for the platform service model as you mentioned with Micro - https://micro.dev I think whether it's Dapr, Micro or something else, the platform service model with well defined interfaces is the way to go. I don't think a lot of people get this yet so it's still going to be a few years before it takes off.
