  • ko

    Build and deploy Go applications

  • You don't need to write and manage Dockerfiles. Simply just use ko: https://github.com/google/ko (You also don't need Docker Engine)

  • fpm

    Effing package management! Build packages for multiple platforms (deb, rpm, etc) with great ease and sanity.

  • If you're not using docker, you can as an alternative artifact generate distribution-native packages like RPM or DEB files, which can include startup scripts etc. I used fpm for this in the past, now I mostly use docker images.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • drone

    Discontinued Gitness is an Open Source developer platform with Source Control management, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery. [Moved to: https://github.com/harness/gitness]

  • deploy app to production server, use ci/cd tools like gitHub actions, drone.io

  • goreleaser

    Deliver Go binaries as fast and easily as possible

  • You can create distribution packages (and docker images) very easily with GoReleaser. I just set it up yesterday for my project, and it was able to automate everything I was doing with my custom script, and do more, with a single config. It's really amazing.
