Freedom is a Go framework built on hexagonal architecture (ports and adapters) that supports domain-driven design with rich domain models. It integrates the Iris web framework and provides dependency injection, code generation, multi-level caching, domain events, and Prometheus monitoring out of the box.

Use cases

• build microservices in Go with DDD
• structure a Go backend using hexagonal architecture
• implement aggregate roots and domain events in Go
• generate CRUD persistence code from a MySQL or PostgreSQL schema
• create an HTTP/2 (H2C) server with dependency injection
• add multi-level caching with cache breakdown protection
• build an event-driven service with Kafka and domain events
• scaffold a new Go web service with a CLI

When to choose

• you want to practice DDD or hexagonal architecture in Go
• you need a batteries-included framework with DI, caching, and monitoring
• you want code generation for persistence objects from a database schema
• you are building maintainable enterprise or microservice backends in Go

When to avoid

• you prefer minimal or unopinionated Go libraries like net/http or chi
• your project is a small service where DDD ceremony adds overhead
• you are not using Go
• you need a framework outside the Iris ecosystem
