But why market it as "gearbox is a web framework for building micro services written in Go".
If it's not production-ready, who are these micro services for?
It just seems not even close to polished enough to share it with the wider community. Someone may take this at face-value and try and use it for their own purposes, only to discover it's a purely academic pursuit with no actual merits other than 'oh we might be able to spuriously improve performance.'
I think other commenters have got it right in saying that processing requests is _not_ the bottleneck of most micro services, but interaction with a storage layer or network speed.
Recently, we have mentioned that gearbox is still under development and not ready for production usage till we finish supporting all basic functionalities and have a benchmarks results (also for the current release). Thanks for your feedback
