SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Go backend teams often struggle with inconsistent architectures, boilerplate, and scattered best practices when building APIs, microservices, or CLI tools. This skill provides a cohesive set of rules, patterns, and conventions to standardize Go backend development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Code Design Rules: Prefer interface-based design, small interfaces, and explicit error handling across services.
  • Project Structure & Patterns: Follow a standard Go project layout with domain-driven grouping and internal boundaries.
  • Operational Excellence: Guidance on testing, observability, concurrency, and deployment considerations for reliable services.

Quick Start

Structure a new Go service using the standard project layout and the design rules outlined in this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a scalable Go backend for microservices and APIs?

Structure Go backends by enforcing 12-factor configuration, small interfaces, and explicit dependency injection within a standard project layout using domain-driven grouping and internal boundaries.

What are the best practices for Go concurrency and design principles in backend services?

Go backend best practices include preferring small interfaces, explicit error handling, and applying structured concurrency patterns to ensure maintainable and robust service code.

Does this approach work for building CLI tools or only API servers?

Yes, these Go backend standards apply to API servers, microservices, and CLI tools, providing scalable patterns, testing guidance, and maintainable code conventions across different service types.

How do I configure structured logging and 12-factor configuration in a Go service?

Enforce 12-factor configuration and structured logging in a Go service by applying explicit dependency injection and standardized coding rules to achieve robust and maintainable operational excellence.

What is the best way to handle testing and gRPC architecture in Go backends?

Handle gRPC architecture and testing in Go backends by following standard project layouts, interface-based design rules, and operational excellence guidance for reliable service deployment.
