For a couple of years I've been working with Golang, is such a great experience, is a great language, in my opinion, simple, fast, and focused on high performance. But, not only it can help us to create a microservice that is fast, but we can also code quite quickly. Golang In Golang we could create a microservice skeleton, but for that, we would need some basic structure to work on. Thinking of that we could use an approach to solve that problem as we are used to develop a golang application, which is the Clean Architecture. ( if you don’t know what it is, you can see more here , I will not add here the benefits or why you should work with it.) After a long time creating new applications with such structure, manually. .
├── config
│   ├── .gitkeep
├── controller
│   ├── .gitkeep
├── domain
│   ├── .gitkeep
├── gateway
│   ├── .gitkeep
├── usecase
│   ├── .gitkeep
├── README.md
├── go.mod
├── go.sum
└── main.go I could find a nice CLI tool called with the purpose to help us, developers, to quickly create a new application based on the previous structure on top of the , then we can focus on the domain. Since then I am using it for every new application in Golang, it's simple and clean, I can quickly jump to the business details and deliver at least a POC on the same day. golangspell Echo web framework To install it, it’s super simple go get github.com/golangspell/golangspell Then, to create a new project you just need cd /path/to/ /project
golangspell init github.com/igor822/spell-test spell-test new The output will be Loading Spells ...

---------------------------------------------------------
To run your application, first build it the command:
go build
---------------------------------------------------------
Then execute the application the command (Unix based systems):
./spell-test
Then execute the application the command (Windows based systems):
spell-test
---------------------------------------------------------
Available endpoints:
http: http: ---------------------------------------------------------

Appcontext it's a nice solution to use as a "container" of services inside your application. Dockerfile logger appcontext And simple as you can see in this example, it's done, you don’t need to manually write a bunch of code that you need to configure router, controllers, and even the port that your application will run. For sure it must have several new tools and improvements, like implement some util to connect quickly with NoSQL or MySQL, or even quickly installing and the developer will be able to connect to a database really fast. gorm My idea here is to share a nice tool that I tested and was able to deliver a small service in less than a day, already deploying to production, without issues and allowing me to focus directly in my problem instead to worry about the noise of the standard code we need to write.
