10 See [the motivating blog post](http://peter.bourgon.org/go-kit) and, eventually, the video of the talk.

12 ## Goals
13
14 - Operate in a heterogeneous SOA -- expect to interact with mostly non-gokit services
15 - RPC as the messaging pattern
16 - Pluggable serialization and transport -- not just JSON over HTTP
17 - Zipkin-compatible request tracing
18 - _more TODO_
19
20 ## Non-goals
21
22 - Having opinions on deployment, orchestration, process supervision
23 - Having opinions on configuration passing -- flags vs. env vars vs. files vs. ...
24 - _more TODO_
