# ERGO
## Simple Microservice Development Framework
Ergo is the substrate for the rapid development of coordinated microservices.
The primary emphasis with Ergo is to eliminate - as much as possible - the boilerplate infrastructure that is common to most software stacks to facilitate a larger developer emphasis on business-oriented development. This is achieved with inversion of control and procedural injection.
For example; Consider the following python function in a file `math.py`:
```
# math.py
def product(x, y):
return float(x) * float(y)
```
Ergo provides the tooling to bootstrap this simple function into any one of a variety of environments (eg. console application, http service, MQ worker, etc.)
To start an http service for the above function:
```
$ ergo http math.py:product
```
then to make a request against this service
```
$ curl -i "http://localhost?4&5"
{"result": 20.0}
```
