Do's and Dont's moving to Golang Microservice Architecture
summary
Migrating a monolith into Go services uses Go, Docker, Kubernetes and C++ interop but poor boundaries create a single service with 40 endpoints that becomes costly to split later. wrapping each C++ function into a “nano” service explodes into 80 microservices for ~20 devs and ballooned maintenance. Missing continuous deployment and staging causes weeks-to-months releases and schema-migration outages; lack of business-level monitoring and cross-discipline teams hides production failures and misaligned vocab, so force early service granularity, a glossary, CI/CD and combined business+ops metrics.
