Go service building blocks

This repository contains a collection of packages designed to aid building reliable, observable, zero-downtime services using Go.

What is in here?

  • config/env Load application config from environment variables (we are moving away from this).
  • config/o11y Wiring code for the o11y package.
  • config/secret Don't store your secrets in a string that can be accidentally logged. Use a secret.String instead.
  • datadog A basic Datadog API client for retrieving metrics back from Datadog.
  • db Common patterns using when talking to an RDBMS. Only supports PostgreSQL at present.
  • httpclient A simple HTTP client that adds observability and resilience to the standard Go HTTP client.
  • httpserver Starting and stopping the standard Go http server cleanly.
  • httpserver/ginrouter A common base for configuring a Gin router instance.
  • o11y Observability that is currently backed by Honeycomb. It also supports outputting trace data as JSON and plain or colored text output.
  • o11y/honeycomb The honeycomb-backed implementation of o11y.
  • o11y/wrappers/o11ygin o11y middleware for the Gin router.
  • o11y/wrappers/o11ynethttp o11y middleware for the standard Go HTTP server.
  • system Manage the startup, running, metrics and shutdown of a Go service.
  • termination A handler to aid signal based service termination. (Used internally by the system package).
  • testing/compiler At CircleCI we aim to acceptance test whole compiled binaries. This package lets us do that, while capturing test coverage for the binary.
  • testing/download Download releases of binaries for using in end to end service testing.
  • testing/fakemetrics A fake recording o11y metrics implementation.
  • testing/httprecorder Record HTTP requests inside an HTTP server, and search them.
  • testing/kongtest If you are using kong for your CLI parsing, this helps in writing golden tests for the CLI definition.
  • testing/releases Helper to determine which binaries to download for end to end tests.
  • testing/testcontext Setup a background context that includes o11y.
  • worker Run a service worker loop with observability and back-off for no work found.

Who is this for?

These packages are intended to be used internally at CircleCI. While this code is licenced permissively with an MIT licence, this is not a true "open source" project, in that there is no active community using it.

No guaranteed API stability

While we do not intentionally aim to break compatibility, we make no promises that we will maintain a stable API if there are good reasons to break it.
