  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Fiber

    ⚡️ Express inspired web framework written in Go

  • I use Fiber. It's pretty good, simple, based on middlewares.

  • go

    The Go programming language

  • Assuming you mean “frameworks” to mean frameworks for APIs, then no. Just stdlib and gorilla/mux for me.

  • 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.

  • mux

    Discontinued A powerful HTTP router and URL matcher for building Go web servers with 🦍

  • Assuming you mean “frameworks” to mean frameworks for APIs, then no. Just stdlib and gorilla/mux for me.

  • recipes

    📁 Examples for 🚀 Fiber (by gofiber)

  • If I started working at a Go shop that used a framework, I would hope it would be Fiber. Not for any particular solid reasons, though. Rather just personal preference based on how the developer experience feels to me personally.

  • wazero

    wazero: the zero dependency WebAssembly runtime for Go developers

  • With the rising popularity of WASM, I’d probably use something like wazero coupled with the library I just wrote and released, waggy for writing the individual handlers for each route, though.

  • waggy

    The dead simple, easy-to-use library for writing HTTP handlers and routers in Go that can be used in standard HTTP server environments or in WAGI (Web Assembly Gateway Interface) environments

  • With the rising popularity of WASM, I’d probably use something like wazero coupled with the library I just wrote and released, waggy for writing the individual handlers for each route, though.

  • chi

    lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go HTTP services

  • I am learning Go. I find confusing this discussion about web frameworks deviation from the standard library, however I've read about chi library as a good alternative, what do you think?

  • 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.
