Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Produce and consume messages using a fault-tolerant actor model. Supports distributed communication over the network. Various built-in components e.g. web handler, error handling, state management. Built-in service discovery. Built-in observer UI. Inspired by Erlang (implemented in Go) and interoperable with it.

Tradeoffs

It appears more complicated to get started that it is - it’s missing a quick start guide with a real world application in the docs, but the CLI can generate example scaffolding for you to get going.
