This looks pretty new and under developed. In a world of service mesh proliferation not sure where this fits as there is some feature overlap.

> PubSub is built in as a first class citizen for asynchronous communication and event driven architectures.

Would be interested to see how this is implemented and what it’s consistency and reliability dynamics are.

I think the largest issue is a lack of documentation. Go-Micro is ~5 years old, so definitely not new. Pub Sub works pretty well; check out the PubSub example in micro/examples.

> Event notifications are a core pattern in micro service development.

I might agree, but it's not the only core pattern.

What if one needs (distributed) transactions? The fact that pub/sub is advertised as a prominent feature makes me think that asynchronous models are preferred, at least in design and philosophy of the framework.
