go-microservice-scaffold

To scaffold a Go microservice, this tool generates a production-ready directory layout including api/, cmd/, internal/, proto/, migrations, and infrastructure folders. It enforces conventional module setup and creates a composition root in cmd/server/main.go for immediate bootstrapping of new services.

A conventional Go microservice layout separates concerns across api/, cmd/, internal/, proto/, migrations, and infrastructure directories. This standard structure reduces boilerplate, enforces clear domain placement, and accelerates delivery by providing consistent conventions for single-domain and multi-domain service patterns.

Yes, you can use this scaffold to add domains to an existing Go microservice. It supports both single-domain and multi-domain service patterns by providing clear domain placement and wiring notes, ensuring consistent conventions when expanding your service architecture.

Bootstrapping a new Go server involves running the scaffold to initialize the api/{service} directory with a conventional module and starter files. The composition root is established in cmd/server/main.go, allowing easy wiring and quick adaptation for creating new services.

Yes, the Go microservice scaffold includes both infrastructure layout and database migrations directories. It creates a comprehensive directory structure encompassing api/, cmd/, internal/, proto/, and migrations to ensure production-ready architecture and scalable domain wiring.

The best way to reduce boilerplate is using a scaffold that enforces a standard, scalable directory structure for Go microservices. By generating conventional module setups, domain placements, and a composition root automatically, it accelerates delivery and eliminates repetitive project initialization tasks.
