Echo VS Buffalo

i prefer echo https://echo.labstack.com/ but from these two, i'd choose fiber

labstack/echo

Echo

I use https://echo.labstack.com/, it's minimalist. Pocketbase also uses Echo.

2. echo. Golang's echo framework is a high-performance, extensible, and simple web framework. It intelligently prioritizes routes and has a highly optimized HTTP router with no dynamic memory allocation. It is used to create dependable, scalable, and easily segmentable REST APIs. It supports HTTP/2, which increases speed and offers a better user experience, and automatically installs TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt. Additionally, there are numerous built-in middlewares available for use, and programmers can even create their own custom middlewares that can be set at the root, group, or route level. The echo framework's disadvantage is that there is just one developer who maintains it, and there aren't many updates to the code. Documentation Link: https://github.com/labstack/echo

Hertz was inspired by other open-source frameworks like fasthttp, gin, and echo, in combination with unique challenges faced by ByteDance, Hertz has become production ready and powered ByteDance’s internal services over the years.

This is thread from Echo github discussions "Is Echo is more efficient than Gin?" https://github.com/labstack/echo/discussions/2143

Buffalo is currently built on Gorilla which complicates building a business on it right now as Gorilla has shifted to public archive since it has no maintainer. https://github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/issues/2360

https://gobuffalo.io/ will save you a lot of time, if you don’t worry about “is not idiomatic” crap

https://gobuffalo.io/ - pretty non-idiomatic (to community standards), but pretty stable and useful if you already know Rails or Django.

Or maybe your just need to serve some HTML and JS from a fat binary and that’s it, nothing complicated, nothing “off the Rails”… Go Buffalo might work well there.

A lot of places seem to suggest https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin , but it seems too micro for my tastes. There's https://github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo that seems to have the appropriate amount of kitchen sinks included, but does it pass the popularity test? Any other options I've missed?

Django = https://gobuffalo.io/

High-level frameworks can easily be built in Go and have been many times. Some examples: https://github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo, https://github.com/beego/beego. There are actual reasons frameworks aren't great, but there are certainly uses for them, specifically when you need to get things done quickly. However, I'd go for a somewhat lower-level, more lightweight framework that doesn't do as much for you, like Echo.

I was looking for the same and I found gobuffalo.io . It's very similar to Django or Rails based on MVC pattern.

There is https://gobuffalo.io/, of course, and it is pretty solid. It has recently reached v1.0, so it should be mature enough for any small-to-mid-size project.
