Echo VS go-formatter

Echo for the web server.

Echo - web framework for Go

The three behaviors I've described that we want all depend on two things, the first of which is "idiomatic error handling". We need to be able to simply return err in our handlers. Unfortunately, the standard libray doesn't give us this. But some third-party frameworks do. The most popular one I'm familiar with is labstack echo, whose HandlerFunc looks like this:

In this tutorial, I will be using the Echo framework to build the backend. You can learn more about Echo here.

Some of the features: - ✅ Using Vertical Slice Architecture as a high level architecture - ✅ Using Event Driven Architecture on top of RabbitMQ Message Broker with a custom [Event Bus](pkg/messaging/bus/) - ✅ Using Event Sourcing in Audit Based services like [Orders Service](services/orders/) - ✅ Using CQRS Pattern and Mediator Patternon top of Go-MediatR library - ✅ Using Dependency Injection and Inversion of Controlon top of uber-go/fx library - ✅ Using RESTFul api with Echo framework and using swagger with swaggo/swag library - ✅ Using Postgres and EventStoreDB to write databases with fully supports transactions(ACID) - ✅ Using MongoDB and Elastic Search for read databases (NOSQL) - ✅ Using OpenTelemetry for collection Distributed Tracing with using Jaeger and Zipkin - ✅ Using OpenTelemetry for collection Metrics with using Prometheus and Grafana - ✅ Using Unit Test for testing small units with mocking dependent classes and using Mockery for mocking dependencies - ✅ Using End2End Test and Integration Test for testing features with all of their real dependeinces using docker containers (cleanup tests) and testcontainers-go library

If you come from NodeJS background, you may find Echo (https://echo.labstack.com) most similar to express.

Can I try to rewrite it using the following? I'll just hand you the code I don't care about credit, I just enjoy cleaning things up. - https://github.com/spf13/cobra - https://echo.labstack.com/ - SQLite - and not a bunch of if statements

Use a library for HTTP serving, such as Gin, Chi, or Echo. I personally use Chi, as it's just the right level of abstraction for how I like to work. Despite what others say here, don't try to re-implement everything in a modern serving library using the standard library.

AFAIK, no. There are some helper frameworks [1], but none of them is dominant. Two possible reasons: it's quite easy to write a (web) service with the library functions (it even includes a gzip stream), and it's practically impossible to write an ORM framework like you have in Java and Python, so the Go frameworks I've seen are basically a bunch of helper functions.
