Micro Server (Optional)

The Micro server is an optional API and dashboard that provides a fixed entrypoint for discovering and interacting with services. It is not required to build or run services; the examples in this documentation run services directly with go run.

Install

Install the CLI which includes the server command:

go install go-micro.dev/v5/cmd/micro@latest

Run

Start the server:

micro server

Then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

When to use it

• Exploring registered services and endpoints
• Calling endpoints via a web UI or HTTP API
• Local development and debugging

Note: The server is evolving and configuration or features may change. For CLI usage details, see cmd/micro/cli/README.md in this repository.
