I recently hit 1K GitHub on github.com/learning-cloud-native-go/myapp:)
I recently hit 1000 GitHub stars on https://github.com/learning-cloud-native-go/myapp
I've created this almost 8 years ago. So, I’ve pushed a major architectural update with Go 1.26rc2, JSON v2, Swag v2 and most importantly brand new GORM repository generator/ GORM cli. Check the Just file, it's much cleaner!
