## What it is
Utron is a lightweight MVC framework for Go, designed for building fast, scalable, database-driven web applications. It supports Postgres, MySQL, SQLite and Foundation databases, alice-compatible middleware, and multiple configuration formats (, yaml, toml, hcl).

## Use cases
- build a database-driven web app in Go
- create a lightweight MVC web application in golang
- build a todo list web app with Go MVC framework
- serve web pages with middleware support in Go
- configure a Go web app with yaml or toml config files
- upload files through a Go web application

## When to choose
- you want a minimal MVC structure in Go without heavy abstractions
- you need built-in support for Postgres, MySQL, or SQLite in a Go web app
- you prefer frameworks understandable in a single day and close to the standard library

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained framework with recent updates and security patches
- you want a microframework or full-featured ecosystem like Gin, Echo, or Beego
- your project requires modern Go module tooling beyond Go 1.4-era APIs

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-framework, routing, middleware, templating, orm
- domain: web-development, backend
- platform: go, cross-platform
