  The interactive web server

• kcp-go

  2 3,100 2.6 Go

  A Crypto-Secure, Production-Grade Reliable-UDP Library for golang with FEC

  Project mention: Do you use TCP and UDP together in your multiplayer games? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-10-15

  I guess I should look into something like this before I get much further. It sounds exactly like what you were recommending. I do enjoy reinventing the wheel sometimes, but it is usually not successful lol.

• emitter-io

  0 3,056 3.4 Go

  High performance, distributed and low latency publish-subscribe platform.

  

• kubefwd

  2 2,633 5.9 Go

  Bulk port forwarding Kubernetes services for local development.

  

  Project mention: Using Telepresence 2 for Kubernetes debugging and local development | dev.to | 2021-04-15

  Kubefwd works similar to Telepresence by making your local environment think it is inside the cluster. The networking tunnel is one direction only. Telepresence is much smarter as it also makes the other cluster applications think that your local app is inside the same cluster. So with Kubefwd you only get 50% of what basic Telepresence offers. Telepresence also has volume mounting support for more advanced scenarios.

• kuma

  3 2,444 9.8 Go

  🐻 The Universal Service Mesh. CNCF Sandbox Project.

  

  Project mention: Powering Kubernetes in the Cloud with Kuma Service Mesh | dev.to | 2021-08-16

  Another important change to make is that when you create the cluster, change the Nodes in the "Default pool" to use the COS (not COS_CONTAINERD) image type. There are some underlying issues when using Kuma with GKE, as noted in this GitHub issue, and this is the currently recommended workaround. Otherwise, you will hit pod initializing issues that affect certificate provisioning.

• gobgp

  1 2,296 7.8 Go

  BGP implemented in the Go Programming Language

  

  Project mention: lab env getting the full route table. | reddit.com/r/networking | 2021-07-17

  Inject it into GoBGP: https://github.com/osrg/gobgp/blob/master/docs/sources/mrt.md

  An enhanced HTTP client for Go (by gojek)

  

  Project mention: Any http client framework? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-08-31

• nano

  1 1,835 3.4 Go

  Lightweight, facility, high performance golang based game server framework

  Project mention: New ‘Action Roguelike’ C++ Project on GitHub | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-01-16

  Couldn't you use just a vanilla Golang (or any other language) microservice for all of this? If you know what you are doing you can have a bulletproof basic service with all of the above up and running in no time, just add your game logic. Most of your requirements are part and parcel of any modern commercial Docker microservice. Never mind that such frameworks already exist, e.g. nano [0] specifically designed for games.

  Scalability is also not an issue. Number of simultaneous players and objects is limited by bandwidth and latency only. There are certainly no barriers to handling multi-million entity databases on any modern server. You're really only limited by how much data you can push out to your users within an update tick. And of course by how much money you're willing to pay for back end compute capacity on an ongoing basis. But those costs are very low these days, especially if you have dedicated servers rather then AWS/Google/Azure.

  I think perhaps the issue is not so much that frameworks don't exist, but rather that no single framework has achieved popularity in the game design community. The indie crowd is not likely to want to, or afford to, run servers for years and years, so the demand is not there. The triple-A studios roll their own.

• mqttPaho

  1 1,750 6.6 Go

  

  Project mention: Are websockets right for this? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-04-27

  I suggest PubSub with queue persistence, so https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.golang with https://mosquitto.org/ as broker. Mosquitto also supports websockets interface and can be run over TLS.

• hubble

  1 1,636 9.0 Go

  Project mention: Kubernetes cluster diagram | reddit.com/r/devops | 2021-02-06

  :cloud: Modern & minimalistic load balancer for the Сloud era

  Project mention: HashiCorp Consul: What's the catch? | reddit.com/r/devops | 2021-09-04

  HAProxy, Traefik, FabioLB, gobetween, and F5 BIG-IP also support native integrations with Consul for service discovery / service mesh.
