Why Migrate to Go Micro?

• Pluggable Architecture - Swap components without changing code
• Zero Configuration - Works out of the box with sensible defaults
• Progressive Enhancement - Start simple, add complexity when needed
• Unified Abstractions - Registry, transport, broker, store all integrated
• Active Development - Regular updates and community support
