go-dev-compose

You can generate a docker-compose.yml for Go microservices by specifying service names, ports, and build paths. The skill outputs a production-quality file complete with health checks, dependency ordering, named volumes, and a Makefile for automated startup.

Docker Compose supports shared infrastructure like Postgres, Redis, and Kafka for Go development. The skill incorporates these components into the generated configuration alongside your microservices, managing their health checks and dependency ordering automatically.

The best way to manage a local Go microservices environment is using a Makefile with Docker Compose targets like dev, dev-down, and dev-logs. This provides a seamless workflow for starting, stopping, and viewing logs across your entire shared infrastructure stack.

Adding health checks and dependency ordering to a Docker Compose file for Go services ensures containers start only when dependencies are ready. The skill automates this by generating configurations that include correct dependency ordering and health check definitions for your microservices.

You can include Jaeger and Kafka in a Docker Compose setup for Go microservices by specifying them as shared infrastructure. The skill generates the necessary configuration with health checks and environment files to support these tools alongside your application services.
