Golang & Service Discovery using Consul : Building Microservices

Digital Gyan Episode: Golang & Service Discovery for building Microservices

Abstract:
Modern microservices are deployed usually in multi-instance cluster such as kubernetes, cloud/lambda functions where IP’s are dynamically assigned, number of instances grows or shrinks based on traffic and instances might be located behind load-balancer in more than one data-centers. Locating the services and establishing secure connections for clients is enabled by “Service Discovery”. Consul provides a central registry that tracks services, maintain health status, enable secure communication and offer dynamic load-balancing capabilities. In this episode, we will implement Service Discovery using Consul for Go (Golang) microservice.
