Decision brief
Kratos is a Go microservices framework designed for cloud-native applications that supports both gRPC and HTTP protocols.
Good fit when
- When you need to develop efficient and scalable microservice architectures specifically in the Go programming language, as Kratos offers dedicated support to optimize go-based services.
- For projects requiring seamless integration with gRPC, since Kratos includes first-class support for this protocol, making it ideal for building high-performance services.
Avoid when
- If your project does not require Go or you prefer frameworks supporting a wider range of languages, as Kratos is specialized in the Go ecosystem and may introduce language-specific limitations.
- In scenarios where lightweight microservices without extensive framework overhead are preferred, given that Kratos includes features like gRPC out of the box which might add unnecessary complexity.
