GoFr is a framework for building microservices in Golang, designed to simplify development by abstracting away boilerplate code for common microservice functionalities such as logging, traces, metrics, configuration management and Swagger API documentation. It supports multiple databases, handles database migrations and facilitates pub/sub with brokers like Kafka and NATs. Additionally, GoFr includes task scheduling with cron jobs. It reduces the complexity of building and maintaining microservices, and allows developers to focus on writing business logic rather than infrastructure concerns. Even though there are other popular Go libraries for building web APIs, GoFr is gaining traction and is worth exploring for Golang-based microservices.
