## What it is
A collection of example Go applications demonstrating different ways to structure Go apps, accompanying Kat Zien's conference talks. It compares flat, domain-based, and hexagonal layouts, though not all examples compile.

## Use cases
- learn how to structure a go application
- compare flat vs domain-driven go project layouts
- understand hexagonal architecture in go
- find examples for organizing go web servers
- decide on folder structure for a new go project

## When to choose
- you want to learn different Go app organization patterns from talk-backed examples
- you are deciding between flat, domain, or hexagonal layouts for a Go project

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready framework or library
- you want up-to-date guidance - the author recommends the newer app-structure-examples repo instead

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, web-framework
- domain: developer-tools, tutorials, web-development
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: project-structure, go-apps, talk-examples, architecture, hexagonal-architecture, domain-driven-design
