Lile is a Go framework and CLI generator for scaffolding gRPC microservices, similar to `rails new` or `create-react-app` but for gRPC services. It generates project structure with tests, Dockerfile, and Makefile, and ships with pluggable integrations for metrics, tracing, pub/sub, and service discovery.

Use cases

• generate a new gRPC service in Go with boilerplate removed
• scaffold a microservice with Dockerfile and Makefile included
• add Prometheus metrics to a gRPC service
• add Zipkin distributed tracing to a Go service
• set up pub/sub messaging in a gRPC microservice
• quickly start a Go backend service with tests and structure

When to choose

• starting a new Go gRPC microservice from scratch
• you want batteries-included defaults for metrics, tracing, and pub/sub
• you prefer convention-over-configuration scaffolding like Rails for services

When to avoid

• you have an existing gRPC codebase with its own structure
• you need a framework with active development and recent releases
• you want REST-first APIs rather than gRPC/protobuf
• you need a framework with a large community and ecosystem
