# Support

Go Micro is free and open source. There are two ways to get help: the community, and commercial support.

## Community support (free)

- **Documentation** — https://go-micro.dev/docs
- **Examples** — https://github.com/micro/go-micro/tree/master/examples
- **Bugs & features** — https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues
- **Questions** — open a [Question](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/new?template=question.md) issue

Community support is best-effort, from maintainers and contributors, with no response-time guarantees.

## Commercial support

If you're running Go Micro in production — or building agents and services on it and want a hand — paid support and consulting are available directly from the maintainer. This is what keeps the project maintained.

| Tier | For | What you get | How |
|------|-----|--------------|-----|
| **Community** | Everyone | Docs, examples, issues — best-effort | Free |
| **Sponsor** | Individuals & companies who rely on Go Micro | Back ongoing development; your name/logo in the README and on the site; a voice in priorities | [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/asim) |
| **Support** | Teams running Go Micro in production | Priority responses, a direct line to the maintainer, prioritized bug fixes, upgrade & integration help | [Open a request](#get-in-touch) |
| **Consulting** | Teams building on Go Micro | Hands-on integration, architecture & agent-design review, training & onboarding, sponsored features | [Open a request](#get-in-touch) |

Recurring amounts are set on the [Sponsors page](https://github.com/sponsors/asim); support and consulting are scoped and quoted per engagement.

## Get in touch

Open a [**Commercial Support / Consulting**](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/new?template=commercial_support.md) request — tell us what you're building, what you need, and your timeline, and we'll follow up. For anything you'd rather not discuss in public, become a [sponsor](https://github.com/sponsors/asim) and message privately.
