GoFr is an opinionated Go framework for accelerated microservice development, with built-in support for databases, pub/sub, gRPC, and out-of-the-box observability (logs, traces, metrics). It is listed in the CNCF Landscape and featured on the ThoughtWorks Technology Radar.

Use cases

• build microservices in go
• go framework with built-in observability
• rest api server with prometheus metrics and tracing
• connect mysql postgres redis kafka in go with minimal config
• grpc and pub/sub microservice framework
• kubernetes-ready go service with health checks
• opinionated go web framework for rapid backend development

When to choose

• you want batteries-included observability (logs, metrics, traces) with zero boilerplate
• you are building microservices targeting Kubernetes deployment
• you want standardized REST behavior, auth middleware, and circuit breakers out of the box
• you need pluggable datasources (SQL, Redis, KV stores, file stores, pub/sub) with health checks and migrations

When to avoid

• you prefer unopinionated minimal libraries and full control over structure
• your project is a small CLI tool or simple script where a framework is overkill
• you need a non-Go language or a framework outside GoFr's supported datasource ecosystem
