GoFr

Go framework for building microservices and REST APIs, with observability, datasource integrations and messaging built in.

GoFr is a Go framework for microservices and REST APIs. A project adds the module with go get and runs it as a process that stays up; the cloud deployment guide describes a GoFr container as a stock Linux Go binary that listens on a configured HTTP port.

The framework’s datasource documentation lists MySQL, Redis, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and other databases, and it offers role-based access control. The project publishes migration guides for moving code from other frameworks and comparison pages that set GoFr against Gin, Fiber, Echo and chi.
