Purpose: Building reliable, large-scale microservices with observability.
Key Features: Service discovery, logging, tracing, transport layers (HTTP, gRPC), middleware support.

Best For: Large-scale, enterprise-grade microservice applications.

Example:

svc := arithmeticService{}
endpoint := makeAddEndpoint(svc)
handler := httptransport.NewServer(endpoint, decodeAddRequest, encodeResponse)

Solution Example: Banking System with Multiple Services

Use Case: A banking system that handles services like accounts, loans, payments, and transaction logging. Each service is independently deployed and monitored.
Framework Usage: Go-Kit provides observability, service discovery, logging, and tracing for each microservice (e.g., AccountService, PaymentService, TransactionService).
Workflow:
- AccountService registers with a service discovery mechanism.
- PaymentService looks up the AccountService when processing payments.
- All services log events and metrics for monitoring using Go-Kit’s built-in observability tools.
Example:
```
endpoint := makeAccountEndpoint(svc)
handler := httptransport.NewServer(endpoint, decodeRequest, encodeResponse)
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", handler)
```
