A small, runnable Go microservices example demonstrating an HTTP frontend backed by internal gRPC service-to-service calls, with OpenTelemetry tracing to Jaeger. It includes Docker and non-Docker local workflows, health/readiness endpoints, and a hotel search demo spanning frontend, search, profile, geo, and rate services.

Use cases

• learn how to build Go microservices with gRPC
• example of HTTP frontend with protobuf backend services
• set up distributed tracing with Jaeger and OpenTelemetry in Go
• see how to structure service boundaries in a microservices app
• run a multi-service stack locally with Docker Compose
• understand health and readiness probes across services
• reference for fan-out gRPC calls between Go services

When to choose

• you want a minimal, runnable reference for Go microservices with gRPC
• you need a working example of OpenTelemetry tracing wired to Jaeger
• you are teaching or learning service-to-service communication patterns in Go
• you want a template showing HTTP up front and Protobufs internally

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready microservices framework with service discovery and deployment tooling
• you want a full-featured hotel booking application rather than a demo
• your stack is not Go or you need polyglot service examples
• you need advanced features like message queues, auth, or autoscaling out of the box
