Tools besides Go for a newbie
IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here

Network Error Handling
We have faced several network issue on our backend application written in golang with resty for inter service calls. We have seen large amount of network errors like `EOF, unexpected EOF, http: stream closed` because of which our APIs fail. Have you faced similar issue and what were the solutions you've implemented.
- Those who use an http client on top of/instead of the built in http package, what do you use and why?
- Libraries you use most of your projects?
-
Best packages?
Go-resty makes it a lot easier to create a http client and much more readable for developers.
-
How do I see the full details of an http request I send?
I don't use the simple http whenever i need to call any API from code . I just use resty its fairly easy to use and logging requests with it is quite easy
-
qst: an *http.Request builder
What are the advantages over https://github.com/go-resty/resty ? resty has `.R()` request builder.

Building microservices in Go with Gin
We need to call PrinterService from the InvoiceGenerator. Therefore, we need an HTTP client in our project. Install Go’s resty HTTP client library with the following command.
-
Any http client framework?

Binance API
I used to use the standard http lib, but now I switched to resty https://github.com/go-resty/resty

Building RESTful API with Hexagonal Architecture in Go
Instead of directly accessing environment variables with os.Getenv(), integrating a configuration handler like viper might make it maintainable.
-
What is the most common approach to configure a backend app?
I guess most people are using https://github.com/spf13/viper but I don't know if I should read everything from
-
Could I get a code review?
Use Viper for config file or environmental variable configuration -- it's going to save you a whole lot of time.
-
Which packages do you recommend for building cli tools?
Cobra and Viper.

Library for Python similar to Go's Viper / 12 Factor
I've mostly been using https://github.com/spf13/viper of late for my go projects. It supports the standard config formats, (json, yaml, toml etc) and lets you override any value with a ENV value.
-
Two ways to provide configuration: command-line, yaml file.
Not only that, the "unmarshall to struct" method doesn't work at all for environment variables. https://github.com/spf13/viper/issues/188
What are some alternatives?
godotenv - A Go port of Ruby's dotenv library (Loads environment variables from .env files)
envconfig - Small library to read your configuration from environment variables
koanf - Simple, extremely lightweight, extensible, configuration management library for Go. Support for JSON, TOML, YAML, env, command line, file, S3 etc. Alternative to viper.
gorequest - GoRequest -- Simplified HTTP client ( inspired by nodejs SuperAgent )
kelseyhightower/envconfig - Golang library for managing configuration data from environment variables
cleanenv - ✨Clean and minimalistic environment configuration reader for Golang
mapstructure - Go library for decoding generic map values into native Go structures and vice versa.
ini - Package ini provides INI file read and write functionality in Go
sling - A Go HTTP client library for creating and sending API requests
goConfig - goconfig uses a struct as input and populates the fields of this struct with parameters from command line, environment variables and configuration file.
config - JSON or YAML configuration wrapper with convenient access methods.
go-toml - Go library for the TOML file format
