To bootstrap a Go microservice with hexagonal architecture, use a scaffold that generates a standard directory layout including cmd/server/main.go, internal/config, domain packages, and adapters. This enforces a uniform project structure across services.

The best way to structure a production Go service is using a scaffold with hexagonal architecture, lifecycle management, and deployment-ready tooling. It provides a Makefile, multi-stage Dockerfile, graceful shutdown, and environment-driven configuration.

Implement graceful shutdown in a Go microservice using signal.NotifyContext for DI wiring and lifecycle management. A production-ready scaffold provides this functionality out of the box alongside health check endpoints.

Yes, this Go scaffold includes a multi-stage Dockerfile for a minimal runtime and a Makefile with targets for build, test, lint, run, and docker-build. These tools ensure deployment-ready packaging.

Yes, you can use this scaffold to enforce a uniform project structure across microservices. It is designed for teams starting new Go services and onboarding developers by providing a consistent hexagonal architecture and directory layout.
