// Package cninfra is the parent package for all packages that are parts
// of the CN-Infra platform - a Golang platform for building cloud-native
// microservices.
//
// The CN-Infra platform is a modular platform comprising a core and a set
// of plugins. The core provides lifecycle management for plugins, the
// plugins provide the functionality of the platform. A plugin can consist
// of one or more Golang packages. Out of the box, the CN-Infra platform
// provides reusable plugins for logging, health checks, messaging (e.g.
// Kafka), a common front-end API and back-end connectivity to various
// data stores (Etcd, Cassandra, Redis, ...), and REST and gRPC APIs.
//
// The CN-Infra platform can be extended by adding a new platform plugin,
// for example a new data store client or a message bus adapter. Also, each
// application built on top of the platform is basically just a set of
// application-specific plugins.
