Introduction
Welcome to the official documentation for colibri-sdk-go! This guide aims to provide all the necessary information for you to understand, use, and get the most out of this framework in your Go projects.
What is it
colibri-sdk-go is a framework for the Go language, designed to simplify and accelerate the development of backend applications, APIs, and microservices. It was born from the need to offer a structured, opinionated, yet flexible foundation that promotes development best practices and allows developers to focus on business logic, eliminating excessive time spent on configuration and repetitive code (boilerplate).
If you are looking for a solid foundation to build robust, scalable, and easy-to-maintain Go applications, colibri-sdk-go offers a set of tools and conventions to assist you in this journey.
Overview
colibri-sdk-go provides a cohesive set of packages, tools, and patterns to structure your Go applications. The core philosophy is to offer a foundation that already incorporates solutions for common backend development challenges, such as:
- Clear Project Structure: Suggests a directory organization that promotes separation of concerns.
- Simplified Configuration: Facilitates application configuration management across different environments.
- Reusable Components: Offers modules for common tasks like HTTP routing, database access, logging, caching, asynchronous communication, HTTP client, storage, transactional control, and various other features.
- Encouraging Best Practices: The framework's design encourages writing modular, testable, and clean code.
- Extensibility: Although opinionated, the framework seeks to be flexible enough to adapt to the specific needs of each project.
By using Colibri, it is expected to reduce initial setup time and ensure greater consistency across different projects and teams.
