Sniper is a lightweight yet modern Go business framework integrating IDL-based interfaces, observability, and a powerful scaffolding CLI. It has run in production since 2018 and supports services at the scale of millions of daily active users.

Use cases

• build a microservice backend in go
• scaffold a new go project with grpc and http endpoints
• add tracing and observability to a go service
• define apis with protobuf idl and generate code
• run a lightweight production web service in go

When to choose

• you want a minimal, batteries-included go business framework with rpc and http support
• you value idl-driven development and built-in observability
• you deploy on unix/linux and want proven production experience

When to avoid

• you develop natively on windows without wsl
• you need a full-featured framework with extensive third-party integrations
• your stack is not go
