## What it is
An example Go project demonstrating a microservices architecture with Gin Gonic, Traefik as an API gateway, and MongoDB. It includes a movie service example with authentication flows, user management, and Swagger API documentation.

## Use cases
- learn how to build microservices in Go
- example of API gateway with Traefik
- Go microservices with Gin and MongoDB
- JWT authentication flow in microservices
- reference architecture for Go backend services
- how to structure a Go microservices project
- generate Swagger docs for Gin APIs

## When to choose
- you want a hands-on example of Go microservices with an API gateway
- you're learning Gin Gonic and MongoDB in a service-oriented setup
- you need a reference for JWT-based auth across multiple services

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready microservices framework with active maintenance and support
- you require a licensed project for commercial redistribution
- you want Kubernetes-native or service-mesh-based microservices patterns

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: api-framework, http-server, routing, auth, api-gateway, middleware
- domain: microservices, backend, web-development, developer-tools, apis
- platform: go, self-hosted, windows
- tags: microservices-architecture, gin-gonic, traefik, mongodb, api-gateway, jwt-authentication, example-project, swagger, movie-service, go-microservices, docker, linux, macos
