What Hacker News says

Fault tolerant in what way? And hot swapping in what way? Go micro uses client side selection and load balancing so you can set number of retries and the timeout period so that it will iterate through nodes for a given request. There's also implementations for rate limiting and circuit breakers as client side wrappers/middleware in the go-plugins repo https://github.com/micro/go-plugins/tree/master/wrapper. Plugins themselves can either be imported and added to a map within the go-micro/cmd package which can be set via flags or env vars or you can set it up yourself and pass it into the client/server. Go does not support DSOs yet so bit difficult to do "hot swapping" in that way if thats what you mean.
