## What it is
Singo is a Go starter framework that assembles Gin, GORM, Redis, sessions, CORS, i18n, and API testing into a simple single-service architecture for building RESTful APIs. It ships with a user model, registration/login/logout endpoints, and a pre-organized MVC-style folder layout to accelerate development.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a RESTful API service in Go
- build a web backend with Gin and GORM
- add user registration and login to a Go app
- set up Redis caching in a Go web service
- write API tests with httpexpect
- organize a Go project with MVC structure
- add i18n to a Go API

## When to choose
- starting a new Go web service from scratch
- you want batteries-included Gin + GORM + Redis setup
- building a small-to-medium REST API with user auth
- learning Go web development with a guided structure

## When to avoid
- you need microservices or a highly customized architecture
- your stack is not Gin/GORM/MySQL based
- you need a production framework with long-term vendor support
- building a frontend or non-HTTP application

## Facets
