How would you design a microservice in Go that handles high-throughput requests and ensures graceful degradation during high loads?

COVER // HOW WOULD YOU DESIGN A MICROSERVICE IN GO THAT HANDLES HIGH-THROUGHPUT REQUESTS AND ENSURES GRACEFUL DEGRADATION DURING HIGH LOADS?

To design a high-throughput microservice in Go, I would utilize goroutines for concurrency, implement a rate limiter to manage traffic, and ensure graceful degradation through circuit breakers and fallback mechanisms. Using a message queue can also help buffer requests during peak loads.
