## What it is
Companion code repository for the 'Building Microservices in Go' YouTube tutorial series by Nicholas Jackson. It contains a multi-tier microservice system (REST API, gRPC currency service, image service, React frontend) with one branch per episode.

## Use cases
- learn to build microservices in go
- example of grpc streaming service in go
- tutorial on dockerizing go microservices
- learn kubernetes deployment for microservices
- example restful json api in go
- learn service mesh and observability patterns
- sample code for continuous delivery of microservices

## When to choose
- you want to follow a structured video course on Go microservices
- you need reference code for REST and gRPC services in Go
- you are learning Docker, Kubernetes, and service mesh basics with Go

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready microservices framework or template
- you want actively developed example code with current dependency versions
- you are not following the accompanying YouTube series

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, rpc, http-server, testing, container-orchestration, developer-tools
- domain: microservices, developer-tools, tutorials, web-development
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: grpc, tutorial-series, youtube-course, sample-code, service-mesh, react-frontend, mono-repo, docker, kubernetes
