## What it is
RuleGo is a lightweight, high-performance, embedded rule engine and component orchestration framework for Go. It lets developers compose reusable components into dynamic rule chains for data processing, integration, and workflow automation, with hot-reload and no external middleware dependencies.

## Use cases
- build an iot edge rule engine in go
- orchestrate business logic without restarting the app
- route and transform mqtt messages
- build low-code data pipelines
- integrate http, mqtt, kafka, and tcp endpoints into workflows
- run llm agent workflows with mcp support
- glue together disparate systems and protocols

## When to choose
- you need an embedded rule engine in a Go application
- you want lightweight edge computing on resource-constrained devices
- you need dynamic, hot-reloadable workflow orchestration
- you want to integrate many protocols (http, mqtt, kafka, tcp, websocket) with one framework

## When to avoid
- you need a full standalone BPM suite with human task management
- your stack is not Go and you cannot run RuleGo-Server as middleware
- you need a visual-only no-code tool without writing code

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: workflow-automation, middleware, routing, agent-framework, mcp, etl, streaming, webhook, scheduling
- domain: iot, developer-tools, backend, artificial-intelligence, self-hosted
- platform: go, cross-platform, self-hosted, embedded
- tags: rule-engine, rule-chains, low-code, edge-computing, component-orchestration, hot-reload, endpoint-abstraction, ipaas, data-integration, automation, ai-agents, data-engineering, linux
