## What it is
A well-known example implementation of Uncle Bob's Clean Architecture in Go, structured into models, repository, usecase, and delivery layers. It serves as a reference template and tutorial for organizing Go backend projects, with multiple versioned branches showing architectural evolution.

## Use cases
- structure a golang rest api with clean architecture
- learn how to layer repository usecase and delivery in go
- find a clean architecture project template for go
- see how to keep business logic independent of frameworks and database
- example of mysql repository layer in golang
- compare clean architecture versions for go projects

## When to choose
- starting a new Go backend project and wanting a proven layered structure
- learning Clean Architecture principles with concrete Go code
- looking for a reference to justify package boundaries in code review

## When to avoid
- you need a production framework with batteries included rather than an example skeleton
- your project is small enough that layered architecture adds unnecessary overhead
- you need a non-SQL or non-HTTP stack without adapting the example

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, database, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: clean-architecture, golang, project-template, example-project, layered-architecture, mysql, uncle-bob
