Introduction
Welcome to go-microx, a powerful CLI tool designed to streamline the creation of scalable microservices architectures in Go.
Building microservices from scratch can be a daunting task involving repetitive boilerplate, complex configuration, and architectural decisions. go-microx solves this by providing an interactive setup that scaffolds a production-ready environment in seconds.
Key Principles
- Developer Productivity: Reduce setup time from hours to minutes.
- Best Practices: Generate code based on proven architectural patterns.
- Consistency: Maintain a uniform structure across all your microservices.
- Flexibility: Choose the tools you love (Gin, Fiber, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, etc.).
Why go-microx?
Unlike generic scaffolding tools, go-microx is tailored specifically for Go microservices. It doesn't just give you a folder; it gives you a complete ecosystem including:
- Pre-defined Industry Templates: E-commerce, Video Streaming, Food Delivery.
- Router Selection: Support for Gin, Fiber, Chi, Echo, and more.
- Database Integration: One-click setup for SQL and NoSQL databases.
