Go Fast!

What is this?

I needed to build a performant web application but I wanted it to be simple to mantain and provide support for regular real life scenarios like OAuth2, modern frontend or database... So I came up with this.

Features

• Web server using Gin
• OAuth2 support via Goth: Multi-Provider Authentication for Go
• Out of the box OAuth2 user authentication flow implemented in the backend.
• React frontend via Vite
• Extensible and dead simple controller mechanism with session support via Redis or cookies, you choose your preferred flavour.
• Easy configuration for production.
• The full stack can be run locally using Docker Compose. It also has proper secrets management via Docker Compose secrets. You need to setup a .secrets folder with the secrets you need. This means that the Dockerfile is pretty much ready for production too.

To do list (in priority order)

• Add more database support (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, etc).
