Onboarding

This is onboarding for anyone working at Micro.

Overview

We need a set of steps and procedures to bring someone upto speed with micro. This is for anyone who joins the team and needs to hit the ground running. Part of that is getting access to tools, setting up an environment, but also getting to know team members and learning about the bigger picture.

Getting Started

Add Accounts

Team day 1 onboarding requirements:

  • Add to Gmail
  • Add to Slack
  • Add to Cloud {Scaleway, DO, GCP, ...}
  • Add to GitHub
  • Add to DockerHub
  • Add to 1Password
  • Add to Stripe
  • Add admin accounts for dev and platform tiers of m3o
  • Add to Cloudflare
  • Add to Linear

Schedule Calls

Reach out to each team member and schedule 1:1 calls to get to know colleagues. Add to regular team calls.

Setup Environment

Download and install Go from https://golang.org/dl/

If you're new to Go walk through the tour https://tour.golang.org/welcome/1

Ensure go modules are enabled and your PATH is set:

export GO111MODULE=on
export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

Install Micro

go get github.com/micro/go-micro/v2
go get github.com/micro/micro/v2

Also, install protobuf and the relevant generators:

brew install protobuf
go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go}
go get -u github.com/micro/micro/v2/cmd/protoc-gen-micro

Create a new service

Create a new service

micro new github.com/micro/mynewservice

Compile the proto file

cd github.com/micro/mynewservice/
protoc --proto_path=. --go_out=. --micro_out=. proto/mynewservice/mynewservice.proto

Run the service

cd github.com/micro/mynewservice
go run main.go

Lookup the service

micro list services

Get the service

micro get service go.micro.srv.mynewservice

Call the service

micro call go.micro.srv.mynewservice Mynewservice.Call '{"name": "John"}'

Start the API

micro api --namespace=go.micro.srv

Call via the api

curl -XPOST -d '{"name": "John"}' http://localhost:8080/mynewservice/call

Start the web app

micro web
