  • asyncapi-codegen

    An AsyncAPI Golang Code generator that generates all Go code from the broker to the application/user. Just plug your application to your favorite message broker!

  • Here is an example with NATS (and soon Jetstream if you look in the issues: https://github.com/lerenn/asyncapi-codegen)

  • goa

    🌟 Goa: Elevate Go API development! 🚀 Streamlined design, automatic code generation, and seamless HTTP/gRPC support. ✨

  • See https://goa.design/. It automates all the comms stuff, so you just write: 1) a design file showing your functions, 2) an implantation of those functions, and 3) a very generic "main.go" (basically the same for all your services) that decides "how is this exposed over gRPC or REST or other comms?". The rest of the code is generated.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • watermill

    Building event-driven applications the easy way in Go.

  • I’ve successfully worked on projects using an asynchronous event-driven way of connecting services. I really like the decoupling of business logic and the events triggering it. I highly recommend https://github.com/ThreeDotsLabs/watermill to be more flexible when it comes to choosing the actual technology driving the async patter. It might be NATS today but requirements might change and you need to change. Watermill prepares you for this.
