# Registry
The registry is responsible for service discovery in Go Micro. It allows services to register themselves and discover other services.
## Features
- Service registration and deregistration
- Service lookup
- Watch for changes
## Implementations
Go Micro supports multiple registry backends, including:
- MDNS (default)
- Consul
- Etcd
- NATS
You can configure the registry when initializing your service.
## Plugins Location
Registry plugins live in this repository under `go-micro.dev/v5/registry/<plugin>` (e.g., `consul`, `etcd`, `nats`). Import the desired package and pass it via `micro.Registry(...)`.
## Configure via environment
```
MICRO_REGISTRY=etcd MICRO_REGISTRY_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:2379 micro server
```
Common variables:
- `MICRO_REGISTRY`: selects the registry implementation (`mdns`, `consul`, `etcd`, `nats`).
- `MICRO_REGISTRY_ADDRESS`: comma-separated list of registry addresses.
Backend-specific variables:
- Etcd: `ETCD_USERNAME`, `ETCD_PASSWORD` for authenticated clusters.
## Example Usage
Here's how to use a custom registry (e.g., Consul) in your Go Micro service:
```go
package main
import (
"go-micro.dev/v5"
"go-micro.dev/v5/registry/consul"
)
func main() {
reg := consul.NewRegistry()
service := micro.NewService(
micro.Registry(reg),
)
service.Init()
service.Run()
}
```
