## What it is
A complete example Go application (Wild Workouts) demonstrating Domain-Driven Design, Clean Architecture, and CQRS through incremental refactoring. It accompanies a series of in-depth articles and an e-book by Three Dots Labs on building maintainable Go business applications.

## Use cases
- learn domain-driven design in go
- example of clean architecture in golang
- how to apply cqrs in go
- refactor a go application to hexagonal architecture
- serverless go app with cloud run and firebase
- terraform setup for go microservices on gcp
- repository pattern example in go

## When to choose
- you want a practical, article-backed reference for DDD/Clean Architecture/CQRS in Go
- you are building a Go web application or microservices and want proven architectural patterns
- you learn best by studying a real refactored codebase

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready framework or library to drop into your project - it is an example, not reusable code
- you are not working in Go
- you want a quick tutorial without reading the accompanying articles

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, rpc, auth, infrastructure-as-code, testing
- domain: developer-tools, tutorials, backend, web-development, apis
- platform: go, cloud, serverless
- tags: ddd, clean-architecture, cqrs, hexagonal-architecture, example-application, refactoring, firestore, cloud-run, terraform, grpc, docker
