## What it is
Godo is the official Go client library for the DigitalOcean V2 API, covering infrastructure services like Droplets, Kubernetes, and Volumes, plus newer Gradient AI Platform inference endpoints. It provides a typed Client with token-based authentication and streaming chat completions, embeddings, and image generation support.

## Use cases
- manage digitalocean droplets from go
- provision kubernetes clusters via the digitalocean api
- call digitalocean gradient ai chat completions in go
- generate embeddings with digitalocean inference api
- automate digitalocean infrastructure with a go script
- list and query digitalocean volumes and load balancers programmatically

## When to choose
- you are writing Go code that interacts with the DigitalOcean API
- you want a maintained, typed client instead of raw HTTP calls
- you need both infrastructure and AI inference endpoints from one client

## When to avoid
- you use another cloud provider
- you need a CLI or GUI rather than a Go library
- your project is not in Go

## Facets
- artifact type: library

- function: http-client, sdk
- domain: cloud-computing, apis, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code
- platform: go, cross-platform
