GOAT

Goat is a toolkit for creating JSON-speaking RESTful APIs in Go.

Goat aims to streamline development by offering a tightly focused feature set, convention-over-configuration philosophies, and out-of-the-box devops tooling.

Goat is not made for building traditional webapps with a front-end. Instead, it focuses on helping developers create headless webservices that can be used as the backend for server-side rendered static sites or mobile-apps.

Roadmap

Planned features include:

• A global CLI tool for for scaffolding projects (including out-of-the-box Docker support and Makefiles)
• Full migration suite
• Generator scripts for Cobra commands, repositories, models, handlers, migrations, etc.
• Out-of-the-box AWS Cloudformation support via generated templates and bootstrapping scripts, including Parameter Store management of secrets and ECS clusters.
• Oauth support
• Out-of-the-box Cobra utility commands
• Support for more additional database engines (currently only supports MySQL-compatible databases)
• Front end integrations via Horns, a comprehensive, fully-themable, open-source UI framework made for Gatsby and React Emotion with React Native support
