    From the README

    Go Micro is a framework for distributed systems development.

    Go Micro provides the core requirements for distributed systems development including RPC and Event driven communication. The Go Micro philosophy is sane defaults with a pluggable architecture. We provide defaults to get you started quickly but everything can be easily swapped out.

    in the plugins repo. State and persistence becomes a core requirement beyond prototyping and Micro looks to build that into the framework.
