SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Golang microservice development often drifts from architecture patterns, leading to inconsistent code and harder maintenance. This skill provides a comprehensive, opinionated guide for creating and modifying Go microservices using DDD, immutable models, functional composition, GORM entities, JSON:API transport, and Kafka messaging, while enforcing context-based multi-tenancy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized architecture: domain-driven design, immutability, and functional composition patterns.
  • Production-ready workflows: provider, map, slice map, and deterministic testing guidance across services.
  • Real-world use: kick off a new service and align coding standards with established conventions for REST endpoints, Kafka messaging, and multi-tenant context.

Quick Start

Review the core workflows and start building a new Golang microservice by following the Standard Implementation Workflow described in this skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about golang-microservice

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Golang microservice using DDD and immutable models?▼

Structure a Golang microservice using DDD by applying domain-driven design, immutable models, and functional composition patterns. This approach standardizes architecture across services, ensuring consistent code, easier maintenance, and reliable REST endpoints.

How do I implement Kafka messaging patterns in a Go microservice?▼

Implement Kafka messaging patterns in a Go microservice by following standardized guidelines that integrate Kafka with domain-driven design and immutable models. This ensures reliable event-driven communication across multi-tenant contexts.

What is the best way to enforce multi-tenancy in Golang microservices?▼

The best way to enforce multi-tenancy in Golang microservices is through context-based multi-tenancy patterns combined with DDD guidelines. This isolates tenant data and logic consistently across REST JSON:API layers and Kafka messaging.

Do I need to run go test before completing work on a Golang microservice?▼

Yes, you need to run go test ./... -count=1 before completing work on a Golang microservice. This ensures builds pass, mocks stay in sync when interfaces change, and deterministic testing guidance is followed.

Can I use GORM entities with JSON:API transport in a Go microservice?▼

Yes, you can use GORM entities with JSON:API transport in a Go microservice. The standardized architecture guidelines integrate GORM for data persistence and JSON:API layers for consistent REST communication.

Why do my Golang microservice mocks fail to stay in sync when interfaces change?▼

Golang microservice mocks fail to stay in sync when interfaces change if standardized workflows are not followed. Running go test ./... -count=1 and applying deterministic testing guidance ensures mocks remain synchronized across services and libraries.
