Addresses the question of how people host go-micro services by documenting current options and what a purpose-built platform would look like.

New doc at internal/website/docs/hosting.md covering:

  • Current hosting options — Single VPS with systemd/mDNS, multi-server with Consul/Etcd, containers/Kubernetes, PaaS
  • Platform requirements — Service discovery integration, RPC/messaging, config management, storage backends, health checks, security (TLS + auth), horizontal scaling
  • Ideal platform architecture — ASCII diagram showing gateway → services → private network (registry, broker, store)
  • Comparison matrix — Complexity, cost, scaling, discovery, and ops overhead across all four strategies
  • Progressive adoption path — Start with single VPS, add registry for multi-host, containerize, then orchestrate
