Microservices communication
I’ve successfully worked on projects using an asynchronous event-driven way of connecting services. I really like the decoupling of business logic and the events triggering it. I highly recommend https://github.com/ThreeDotsLabs/watermill to be more flexible when it comes to choosing the actual technology driving the async patter. It might be NATS today but requirements might change and you need to change. Watermill prepares you for this.

Public chatroom websocket project in Go
Highly recommend https://watermill.io lib for building async apps (using among others pub/sub patterns). It greatly decouples your code from the underlying technology and gives you the freedom to choose depending on the environment (e.g dev, prod). For dev or small scale purposes, it supports pub/sub purely based on go channels.

How did you solve the problem of transactions between different databases and services?
Look at this library: https://github.com/ThreeDotsLabs/watermill

Examples of using task scheduler with Go?
Watermill is a good pubsub abstraction. You can start with native go channels and grow into a cloud pubsub or Kafka/Pulsar if you need to.
-
Small EDA/Micro service Project
These conditions have led me to discover two packages watermill.io and go-kit. Both of these seem to do what I want and I am thinking of implementing the project using watermill and go Chanels and deploying to a server or some sort.

Event Observer Pattern in Go
github.com/ThreeDotsLabs/watermill package provides a framework for building event-driven applications. It allows easy communication between independent components by decoupling the sender and the receiver.

I've just started learning Golang, and I'm struggling to choose a framework.
My personal favorite tools: - https://github.com/go-kit/ for building services (although it's not necessary a great tool for prototyping) - https://github.com/gorilla/mux router (although it's been recently deprecated, so I'm looking for a similar, maintained library) - https://entgo.io/ ORM - https://watermill.io/ for messaging
- How to handle events: an interactive example of consumer groups
- I’m looking for a suggestion for a queuing library

Distributed messaging with NATS
Now that our NATS server is running, we'll be using Go and Node.js clients to connect to it for simple demonstration. Not familiar with Go or Node? Don't worry NATS has clients available in over 40 languages!

Plugins vs Microservices
You can build monolith applications and if they need cross communication, rely on something like Nats: https://github.com/nats-io/nats.go

Subscription management in pub/sub system
You could start by looking/reading how it is implemented in production ala https://github.com/nats-io/nats.go
