Go Boilerplate

Overview

Codoworks Go Boilerplate is an excellent backend service skeleton designed to expedite the development process. With the aim of enabling developers to set up a RESTful CRUD API in minutes, this package has evolved from a simple boilerplate to a more opinionated framework that incorporates a wealth of predefined features. Built with GoLang v1.21, this tool helps maintain an organized structure and robust workflows, which are crucial as projects scale.

The framework is particularly beneficial for developers who want to focus on building business logic rather than grappling with backend complexities. With Codoworks Go Boilerplate, you get a head start on production needs while easily adapting to different frameworks and services as required.

Features

• Multi-Routers: The boilerplate includes three distinct routers (public, protected, and hidden), allowing for customized configurations based on your specific use cases, improving structural organization.

• Modular Design: Designed to work with Ory Kratos for authentication, but easily customizable to integrate with other service providers by modifying the authentication middleware.

• Background Task Management: Built-in support for running background tasks, such as email watchers or cleanup jobs, with the added flexibility to create custom jobs as needed.

• Administrative Tasks: Out-of-the-box features for executing administrative actions via the command line, ensuring no critical API functionality is overlooked during the development process.

• Database Integration: The package supports integration with MySQL, Postgres, and SQLite databases, with SQLite set as the default for quick deployment and ease of use.

• Security Scans: Incorporates Codacy and CodeQL for proactive security scanning, helping to identify and fix vulnerabilities in the codebase before they escalate.

• Active Maintenance: With a commitment to frequent updates, Codoworks Go Boilerplate allows developers to stay current with best practices and enhancements in backend development.
