Go framework generating OpenAPI documentation from code. Inspired by Nest, built for Go developers.

As someone who works a lot with operating systems, there are many scenarios that require loading C libraries. Plugins that use shared libraries, low-level device APIs, random Linux utilities. Despite modern options for interprocess communication, sometimes you get a header file and a shared object and have to run with it.

This post covers cgo, Go’s C interoperability layer.

When starting a project, new Gophers often ask the following questions.

- What logger should I use?
- What web framework should I use?

These questions are well-intentioned but they all miss a key aspect about Go.

The backend engineering team at Nurdsoft is a fan of Go, we use it for almost all of our backend services, its easier to get started even our Frontend engineering team can write Go!. This article is about how we can use Go to automate a browser virtually acting like a real user.

This article is a practical look at reducing dependencies in Go libraries. We'll start by looking at how Go dependencies work, then go into a few ideas around reducing dependencies. Finally, we'll go into a few ways I've implemented these ideas in Huma and the results. Hopefully you can use some of the same techniques in your own projects.

This post covers a range of topics related to building services in Go, including:

- Structuring servers and handlers for maximum maintainability
- Tips and tricks for optimizing for a quick startup and graceful shutdown
- How to handle common work that applies to many types of requests
- Going deep on properly testing your services
- From small projects to large, these practices have stood the test of time for me, and I hope they will for you too.
