gonet is a Go-based distributed game server framework built around an actor model with virtual actors, in-memory MMO state, and a stub-based microservice model. It provides built-in RPC, a document-style ORM for player data, high availability via raft/lease consistency, and utilities like snowflake UUIDs and a high-precision timing wheel.

Use cases

• build a distributed MMO game server in Go
• implement actor-based game backend with per-player actors
• set up microservices for game modules like rank and activity without separate binaries
• store player state with automatic periodic sync to database
• generate RPC code from callback functions without proto files
• achieve high availability with no single point of failure in game servers

When to choose

• you are building a memory-based MMO or multiplayer game backend in Go
• you want actor-model concurrency without shared-state races
• you need distributed game services with built-in RPC, ORM, and service discovery

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose web or REST API server
• your team requires extensive English documentation and large community support
• you need the advanced features (hotfix, attribute sync, codegen RPC) which are paid offerings
