GoFr is a Golang framework designed for accelerated microservice development. It offers built-in observability tools such as health-check and heartbeat URLs, metrics, and structured logging. GoFr supports multiple data sources including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MQTT, and simplifies REST API design, logging, metrics, tracing, and CORS configuration. Its compatibility with Kubernetes and minimal code for route registration enable developers to focus on business logic while ensuring the application is production-ready.

Why Use GoFr for Golang Backend?

not very sure here… route registration doesn’t look very different than with Gin…
Metrics sound cool, I love metrics hahah

nice but sticking with the standard library or better still gin-gonic

after looking at the docs, i can safely say i don’t think GoFr will be a thing… premade middlewares for other libraries already provide similar things to GoFr… plus the dependencies GoFr needs… waaaay too many

I’ve been playing around with GoFr and while I agree it has a lot of dependencies, the out-of-the-box observability features have seriously streamlined my debugging process 🤯 - being able to visualize request flows across microservices with minimal setup has been a game-changer for me.

Nice I’ll have to see how this pares up against pocketbase. I know they’re not direct competitors.
