## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: logging, monitoring, tracing, configuration-management, error-handling, testing, deployment, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, backend, web-development
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: go-kit, microservices, boilerplate, application-template, telemetry, graceful-shutdown, health-checks, boilerplate, devops, docker
