A Go RESTful API boilerplate providing a structured, idiomatic foundation for building web APIs. It ships with JWT authentication (passwordless email login), PostgreSQL with migrations via bun, chi routing, viper configuration, and structured logging.

Use cases

• start a new Go REST API project
• scaffold a backend with JWT authentication
• build a passwordless email login API
• bootstrap a Go API with PostgreSQL and migrations
• learn idiomatic Go API project structure
• set up a Dockerized Go API server

When to choose

• starting a new Go REST API from scratch
• you want JWT auth and PostgreSQL wired up out of the box
• you prefer a minimal, idiomatic Go stack (chi, viper, cobra)

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured framework like Gin or Echo with batteries included
• your stack is not Go or not PostgreSQL
• you need GraphQL or gRPC rather than REST
