What Hacker News says
2 sourcesFirst of all I think there is merit in trying to do "Netlify for the backend". Or a more flexible and backend focused variation of Vercel (I think they only let you do FaaS, correct me if I'm wrong). Services like these provide a constrained, "just works" user (dev) experience.
However, I don't like the name "Micro Services". It seems like the authors are trying to hijack a well established term for their brand. This might be incredibly confusing for new developers and at the same time turn off experienced ones.

I'm not too familiar with Go. But from reading some of the example code[0] I get the feeling that there must be some very good reason for avoiding relational.
And what confuses me further is the name collision with go-micro[1].
