Make development easy

go-zero is a web and rpc framework with many built-in engineering best practices.

GETTING STARTED GitHub

High Performance

builtin service discovery, load balancing

builtin concurrency control

adaptive circuit breaker

adaptive load shedding

auto trigger, auto recover

chained timeout control

auto management of data caching

call tracing, metrics and monitoring

high concurrency protectedg

Easy to expand

middlewares are supported, easy to extend

failure-oriented programming, resilience design

fully compatible with net/http

Easy to learn

powerful tool included, less code to write

plenty of builtin microservice management and concurrent toolkits

Code Generation

go-zero includes a minimalist API definition and generation tool goctl, which can generate Go, iOS, Android, Kotlin, Dart, TypeScript, JavaScript code according to the defined api file with one click, and run it directly.

$ goctl --help
