A Go boilerplate project for quickly deploying RESTful APIs using the Gin web framework. It ships with PostgreSQL (via sqlx), JWT authentication backed by Redis, CORS/RequestID/Auth middleware, PDF generation, and Swagger documentation out of the box.

Use cases

• bootstrap a REST API in Go with Gin
• add JWT authentication with Redis token storage to a Go API
• generate PDF invoices from a Go web service
• set up Swagger documentation for a Gin API
• start a Go project with PostgreSQL and JSONB queries
• quickly scaffold an API with CORS and request ID middleware

When to choose

• you want a ready-made Gin + PostgreSQL + Redis starting point
• you need JWT auth and Swagger docs wired up from day one
• you're building a Go REST API and want sensible project structure and middleware included

When to avoid

• you use an ORM-first stack or a database other than PostgreSQL
• you need a framework-agnostic or microservice-template solution rather than Gin
• you want a production-hardened, batteries-included framework instead of a starter template you must extend
