A Go application boilerplate and example repository demonstrating modern application development practices, including architecture, package structure, configuration, logging, telemetry, and Docker deployment. It serves as a starting template for building new Go applications and microservices.

Use cases

• bootstrap a new Go microservice with modern best practices
• learn how to structure a production Go application
• set up logging, metrics, and tracing in a Go service
• configure health checks and graceful shutdown in Go
• see how to wire viper config, logrus logging, and Prometheus together
• template for building Dockerized Go server applications

When to choose

• starting a new Go backend or microservice project
• you want a reference implementation of Go application architecture patterns
• you need an example integrating go-kit, watermill, and OpenCensus telemetry

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready framework rather than an example template
• your stack is not Go
• you need actively evolving features — the project is in maintenance mode
