## What it is
Eagle is a lightweight Go microservice framework for rapidly building HTTP and gRPC API services. It bundles production-grade components including configuration, logging, metrics, distributed tracing, caching, message queues, and service registration/discovery, with a CLI for scaffolding projects.

## Use cases
- build a restful api service in go
- create a grpc microservice with tracing and metrics
- scaffold a new go backend project with layered architecture
- add service discovery and config hot-reload to a go service
- build a web api with jwt auth, redis cache, and mysql via gorm
- deploy a cloud-native go service to kubernetes

## When to choose
- you want an opinionated, batteries-included Go microservice framework with HTTP and gRPC in one process
- you need built-in observability (Prometheus metrics, OpenTelemetry tracing) out of the box
- you prefer a scaffolded layered project layout following SOLID principles

## When to avoid
- you only need a minimal HTTP router without microservice infrastructure
- your team already standardizes on a different Go stack like go-kit, kratos, or go-zero
- you are not using Go
