Beginner-friendly API made with Go following hexagonal architecture.
Also, I put config in the package that needs it using something like this instead of Viper: https://github.com/sethvargo/go-envconfig And then at the entry point make another config that includes all the structs from the packages and inject them after bulk reading in. The beauty of this is I can take a package for reuse and drop it into another project. It’s errors and config are right there with it. Also this reduces cognitive load of trying to find everything in big projects (or dig through a 1000 lines in a centralized location).

Env files are horrible. I recommend https://github.com/sethvargo/go-envconfig

Self promo: it won’t help with the config file side of things but should elegantly cover the flags and environment variables: https://github.com/cavaliergopher/xflags.
