Migrating from PHP to Go

1. golang-standards/project-layout

   1 198 52,327 5.8 Makefile

   Standard Go Project Layout

   

   As u/GingaNinja741 mentioned, I think for project structure this project gives you a good idea but there is no real rule here. Some folders like internal are part of the language and will affect imports or usage from other modules. https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout

2. InfluxDB

   www.influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

   

3. zap

   2 55 23,048 6.4 Go

   Blazing fast, structured, leveled logging in Go.

   

   https://github.com/uber-go/zap for logging. This logger is fast. You might not think that's important, but when we moved from Logrus to Zap we saw a noticeable difference in performance of some high-traffic applications.

4. GORM

   3 84 38,201 7.5 Go

   The fantastic ORM library for Golang, aims to be developer friendly

   

   Do you like an ORM like eloquent for Laravel? Then I can recommend GORM https://gorm.io/

5. go-formatter

   4 115 143,693 9.4 Go

   A curated list of awesome Go frameworks, libraries and software

   

   bring your own tools - this is where you select your libraries and then wire them together manually. Most libraries play very well with other libraries https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go -- so it can be easier than in other languages. This approach is very common.

6. chi

   5 108 19,761 7.5 Go

   lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go HTTP services

   

   I'm a big fan of [Twirp RPC](https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp), and [go-chi/chi](https://github.com/go-chi/chi) if I need to provide REST endpoints, authentication or other routing middleware. The "gorilla" set of packages are also useful, I always reach for gorilla/websocket if I need to do some websocket work. You can look at an example service in [go-bridget/notify](https://github.com/go-bridget/notify) - the main files to look at are under rpc/notify/notify.proto/.go, and the implementation which you write is under server/notify. If you'd create database drivers, I'd create a package under server/notify/mysql (for example), and then implement an interface for data retrieval/settings. It's on the todolist, if I'll ever need to implement anything other than JWT, or Redis. Comment if you have any questions or notes.

13. microservice1

    11 1 - -

    For what you are trying to do with micro services I would recommend having a main service and just make your modules folders in that repo. Let's say I make a repo at github.com/uberswe/microservice1 then I might let microservice 2 import the database package defined in microservice1 using github.com/uberswe/microservice1/database

14. validator

    12 75 18,317 8.3 Go

    :100:Go Struct and Field validation, including Cross Field, Cross Struct, Map, Slice and Array diving

18. twirp

    16 36 7,339 4.6 Go

    A simple RPC framework with protobuf service definitions

    

    I'm a big fan of [Twirp RPC](https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp), and [go-chi/chi](https://github.com/go-chi/chi) if I need to provide REST endpoints, authentication or other routing middleware. The "gorilla" set of packages are also useful, I always reach for gorilla/websocket if I need to do some websocket work.

20. upper.io/db

    18 6 3,593 4.8 Go

    Data Access Layer (DAL) for PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, MySQL, SQLite and MongoDB with ORM-like features.

    

    upper.io is a viable alternative to GORM. Just a suggestion.
