GOAL

Goal is a collections of helpers to speed up microservice development

Motivation

I wrote this library to organize basic functions that I need for writing microservices in a single place. Goal is accordingly a common library that includes the following features.

• It has an easy to use ETCD client that allows for
  • Automatic configuration reading
  • Bootstrapping configurations
• It provides NATS codecs for
  • Protobuf
  • Protobuf + ZSTD
• It provides an in-memory cache which has a built-in TTL
• It provides high performance collections
  • Queue
  • Stack
• It provides a high performance DI container that support the following life-cycles
  • Singleton
  • Transient
  • Scoped
• It provides a wrapper around the original http client in Go that
  • Ensures connection reuse
  • Simplifies all http operations in a single function
• It provides an advanced logger that
  • Sends measurements to InfluxDB
  • Has failover features
  • Records performance benchmarks at runtime without any performance penalty
• It provides a Protobuf util that
  • Marshals Protobuf to Map
  • Unmarshals Map to Protobuf

Development

I am still developing this library. All features are well-tested separately. I am currently working on moving the test files to the same repository.
