Migrating from PHP to Go

• golang-standards/project-layout

  195 45,852 6.4 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

• zap

  51 20,947 8.1 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.

• WorkOS

  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.

• chi

  101 17,050 7.2 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.

• microservice1

  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
