What is GoFast?

The Ultimate Foundation for building High-Performance, Scalable, Modern Web Applications. Backed by a powerful CLI.

Not ‘built in days’ bullshit.

You will need to code.

But it will work.

Philosophy

• The backbone of the app is Go, which handles all the important logic. Why Go?
  • Go is a simple language with exceptional performance.
  • Due to Go’s straightforward nature, there aren’t countless ways to do things, making code review and consistency much easier.
  • One of its undervalued strengths is its ease of introduction to new programmers.
  • Go has an amazing set of native libraries.
  • Errors as values are amazing.
• We believe that combining a robust backend language with a “simple” frontend framework is the best way to build a scalable, maintainable, and high-performance application.
• We primarily use Dependency Injection and the Strategy Pattern, keeping abstractions to a minimum. Always go for simplicity.
• Minimize external dependencies: This enhances code maintainability and simplifies long-term changes. It’s the way to go. It will make your life simpler.
