gosoline

Gosoline Application Framework

Gosoline is a Golang based application framework specialized for building microservices in the cloud. It provides tools for handling most of the common challenges like configuration, logging, structured code execution, handling http requests, asynchronous message processing, writing integration tests and much more.

Why use it?

• Provides an all-in-one solution for the primary use cases
• Out-of-the-box solutions for many AWS services
• Reduces a lot of needed glue and boilerplate code
• Uses a lot of sane default values to to just run code from the IDE (e.g. uses localstack instead of AWS)
• Makes it easy to build a microservice-based architecture which uses a lot of asynchronous event processing

Key Features

• Configuration management
• Logging
• Metrics
• Tracing
• Fixture loading
• Integration tests
• Application lifecycle management
• Api server
• Consumer and producer applications
• Integrates well with AWS

Quickstart

Every application consists of at least a main.go and config.dist.yml file.

main.go

package main

import (
	"context"

	"github.com/justtrackio/gosoline/pkg/application"
	"github.com/justtrackio/gosoline/pkg/cfg"
	"github.com/justtrackio/gosoline/pkg/kernel"
	"github.com/justtrackio/gosoline/pkg/log"
)

func main() {
	application.Run(
		application.WithModuleFactory("hello-world", NewHelloWorldModule),
	)
}

func NewHelloWorldModule(ctx context.Context, config cfg.Config, logger log.Logger) (kernel.Module, error) {
	return &HelloWorldModule{
		logger: logger.WithChannel("hello-world"),
	}, nil
}

type HelloWorldModule struct {
	logger log.Logger
}

func (h HelloWorldModule) Run(ctx context.Context) error {
	h.logger.Info(ctx, "Hello World")
	return nil
}

config.dist.yml

env: dev
app_project: gosoline
app_family: example

Integration test execution

Linux

On linux it's very straight to execute the integration tests:

go test -tags integration,fixtures ./test/...

macOS

To run them on macOS you will (once initially and after each system update) have to execute this:

sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 172.17.0.1

Afterwards simply execute:

go test -tags integration,fixtures ./test/...
