GoFr's Instant Power: Production-Ready Go Services in 5 Minutes

Building microservices in Go often means hours of setup for logging, metrics (Prometheus), and health checks. GoFr is the opinionated Go framework designed to deliver these production essentials automatically, with zero extra code.

The Minimal Code
Here is the entire application. The magic lies in what GoFr enables simply by calling app.Run(): package main

import "gofr.dev/pkg/gofr"

func main() {
app := gofr.New()

// Add your business logic route
app.GET("/api/status", func(ctx *gofr.Context) (interface{}, error) {
    return "Service is operational!", nil
})

// GoFr automatically adds observability and lifecycle endpoints.
app.Run() 

}

I can definitely make it even shorter and more direct!

Here is the ultra-concise version focusing on the core value proposition and the minimum required code. This is perfect for a platform like Dev.to or a quick blog post.
