Go is a compiled, concurrent, garbage-collected, statically typed language developed at Google. Go was designed to be an excellent tool for writing large software projects.

According to 2020 stackoverflow developer survey, Go was the 3rd most wanted programming language to learn.

So today, I want to share 7 amazing GitHub projects that will help you become a better Go developer. While some repos can help you have a self-learning path for Go, others can be useful for your workflows.🤓

So let's get started. 👊


Currently building SigNoz - an open-source application performance monitoring tool. Backend of SigNoz is built in Go.

Check out our GitHub repo👇

SigNoz helps developers monitor applications and troubleshoot problems in their deployed applications. SigNoz uses distributed tracing to gain visibility into your software stack.

👉 You can see metrics like p99 latency, error rates for your services, external API calls and individual end points.

👉 You can find the root cause of the problem by going to the exact traces which are causing the problem and see detailed flamegraphs of individual request traces.

👉 Run aggregates on trace data to get business relevant metrics

Overview

This is a basic layout for Go application projects. It's not an official standard defined by the core Go dev team; however, it is a set of common historical and emerging project layout patterns in the Go ecosystem. Some of these patterns are more popular than others. It also has a number of small enhancements along with several supporting directories common to any large enough real world application.

If you are trying to learn Go or if you are building a PoC or a simple project for yourself this project layout is an overkill. Start with something really simple instead (a single main.gofile andgo.mod is more than enough). As your project grows keep in mind that it'll be important to make sure your code is well structured…

Motivation

Go has emerged as the language of the server, but it remains underrepresented in so-called "modern enterprise" companies like Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, and SoundCloud. Many of these organizations have turned to JVM-based stacks for their business logic, owing in large part to libraries and ecosystems that directly support their microservice architectures.

To reach its next level of success, Go needs more than simple primitives and idioms. It needs a comprehensive toolkit, for coherent distributed programming in the large. Go kit is a set of packages and best practices, which provide a comprehensive, robust, and…

Go Patterns
build-status awesome license

A curated collection of idiomatic design & application patterns for Go language.

Creational Patterns

Pattern Description Status
Abstract Factory Provides an interface for creating families of releated objects
Builder Builds a complex object using simple objects
Factory Method Defers instantiation of an object to a specialized function for creating instances
Object Pool Instantiates and maintains a group of objects instances of the same type
Singleton Restricts instantiation of a type to one object

Structural Patterns

Pattern Description Status
Bridge Decouples an interface from its implementation so that the two can vary independently
Composite Encapsulates and provides access to a number of different objects
Decorator Adds behavior to an object, statically or dynamically
Facade Uses one type as an API to a number of others
Flyweight Reuses existing instances of objects with similar/identical state to minimize resource usage
Proxy
