Top 23 Go event-driven Projects
-
dapr
Dapr is a portable runtime for building distributed applications across cloud and edge, combining event-driven architecture with workflow orchestration.
We decided to use Azure Container Apps as a managed Kubernetes platform because it offers everything we need for our project, with acceptable limitations. During the process, we realised that Microsoft includes managed Dapr as part of the service—and we decided to use it. Why? I explain below—and I still don't regret it.

keda
KEDA is a Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling component. It provides event driven scale for any container running in Kubernetes
Project mention: How We Cut Our Azure Cloud Costs by 3x — Solda.Ai’s Experience | dev.to | 2025-05-07If you’re looking to implement a similar pattern, it’s worth noting that tools like KEDA can help you scale workloads based on event sources such as queue length. In our case, we decided to write a custom operator instead — mainly to retain full control and avoid relying on KEDA availability or support in our specific cloud provider setup.

ergo
An actor-based Framework with network transparency for creating event-driven architecture in Golang. Inspired by Erlang. Zero dependencies.
