Yokai - a simple, modular and observable Go framework for backend applications.

Building backend applications with Go is amazing.

But to build production-grade applications, you need to put in place a bunch of efforts and boilerplate code, introducing complexity not even related to the logic of your application (like dependencies wiring, configuration management, observability instrumentation, etc.).

To solve this, Yokai was created with the following goals in mind:

  • Simple: it is easy to use, configure and test, enabling you to iterate fast and deliver quickly maintainable applications.

  • Modular: it can be extended with the available Yokai modules, or with your own, to build evolvable applications.

  • Observable: it comes with built-in logging, tracing and metrics instrumentation, to build reliable applications.

In other words, Yokai lets you focus on your application logic, while taking care of the rest.

Don't hesitate to visit the Yokai repository to find the technical documentation, starting guides and demo applications!
