## What it is
Bud is a full-stack web framework for Go that generates boilerplate glue code automatically, integrating a Go backend with Svelte/TypeScript frontend tooling. It ships as a single CLI binary that scaffolds projects, runs a development server, and builds production servers.

## Use cases
- build a full-stack web app in Go with a Svelte frontend
- scaffold a new Go web project quickly
- server-side render frontend components from a Go backend
- avoid writing boilerplate routing and glue code in Go web apps
- build and deploy a single production web server binary

## When to choose
- you want a batteries-included full-stack framework in Go
- you want automatic code generation to eliminate boilerplate
- you want SSR with Svelte/TypeScript alongside a Go backend

## When to avoid
- you need Windows support
- you want a mature, actively developed framework
- you prefer minimal libraries over code-generation frameworks
- you want to avoid a Node.js dependency

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, ssr, routing, templating, cli
- domain: web-development, backend, frontend, developer-tools
