Generates complete, production-ready REST API service scaffolding from declarative .api files using goctl's parser and code generation pipeline. The tool parses the .api definition format (which supports route definitions, request/response structs, middleware declarations, and service metadata), then generates typed handler stubs, request/response binding code, middleware chains, and server initialization logic. Developers fill in only business logic; all HTTP plumbing, validation, and routing is auto-generated and type-safe.
Unique: Uses a custom .api DSL parser integrated into goctl that generates complete handler stubs with automatic request binding, validation, and middleware injection — not just route registration. The generated code includes ServiceConf initialization and follows go-zero's opinionated structure (rest.Server, middleware chains, error handling patterns).
vs alternatives: Faster than manual scaffolding or generic REST generators because it generates go-zero-specific code with built-in resilience patterns, structured logging, and middleware support already wired in.
Generates complete gRPC service implementations, client stubs, and REST-to-gRPC gateway code from Protocol Buffer definitions using goctl's proto parser and code generation. The tool parses .proto files, generates gRPC server interfaces with go-zero's zrpc.Server integration, produces typed client code with built-in resilience (circuit breaker, timeout, retry), and optionally generates a gRPC-JSON gateway for REST clients. All generated code includes service discovery integration, distributed tracing hooks, and middleware support.
Unique: Integrates gRPC code generation with go-zero's zrpc.Client wrapper, which automatically injects circuit breaker, timeout, and retry logic into all generated clients. Also generates optional gRPC-JSON gateway code that bridges REST and gRPC protocols without manual translation.
vs alternatives: More complete than protoc alone because it generates not just gRPC stubs but also resilience-enabled clients and optional REST gateways, all integrated with go-zero's observability and service discovery.
Provides a flexible middleware/interceptor system for HTTP handlers and gRPC services that allows composing cross-cutting concerns (authentication, logging, rate limiting, CORS) without modifying handler code. Middleware is registered in the server configuration and applied to all requests in a chain; each middleware can inspect/modify requests, call the next middleware, and inspect/modify responses. Interceptors work similarly for gRPC. Custom middleware can be added by implementing the middleware interface and registering it in the server setup.
Unique: Provides a clean middleware/interceptor chain API where each middleware can inspect/modify requests and responses. Middleware is registered in ServiceConf and applied automatically to all requests without handler code changes.
vs alternatives: More flexible than framework-specific middleware because the chain composition pattern is simple and allows arbitrary middleware ordering and composition.
Provides centralized configuration management through ServiceConf, which loads configuration from YAML/TOML/JSON files and validates it against a config struct. The framework supports environment variable substitution, nested configuration sections, and type-safe config access. ServiceConf.MustLoad() reads the config file, validates all required fields, and returns a populated config struct. Configuration includes database connections, Redis settings, service discovery, logging, tracing, and custom application config. Invalid config causes startup failure with clear error messages.
Unique: ServiceConf is the central configuration struct for all go-zero services; calling SetUp() initializes all framework subsystems in the correct order. Configuration includes database, Redis, logging, tracing, and service discovery settings.
vs alternatives: More integrated than standalone config libraries (viper, koanf) because configuration is tied to ServiceConf initialization and all framework subsystems are configured together.
Generates Dockerfile and Kubernetes manifests (Deployment, Service, ConfigMap) from service definitions using goctl's deployment generators. The tool creates a production-ready Dockerfile with multi-stage builds, generates Kubernetes YAML for service deployment with resource limits, health checks, and environment variable configuration. Generated manifests follow Kubernetes best practices and can be deployed directly to a cluster. Developers customize manifests as needed for their environment.
Unique: Generates both Dockerfile and Kubernetes manifests from service definitions, ensuring deployment configuration is consistent with the service contract. Uses multi-stage Docker builds for optimized image size.
vs alternatives: More complete than generic Docker/Kubernetes templates because manifests are generated from service definitions and include health checks, resource limits, and environment configuration.
Provides a MapReduce abstraction for parallel task execution with automatic goroutine management, error handling, and result aggregation. The framework provides Mapper and Reducer interfaces; developers implement map and reduce functions, and the framework handles goroutine creation, synchronization, and error collection. Useful for batch processing, data transformation, and parallel computation. The framework limits concurrent goroutines to prevent resource exhaustion and collects errors from all goroutines.
Unique: Provides a MapReduce abstraction that handles goroutine creation, synchronization, and error collection automatically. Limits concurrent goroutines to prevent resource exhaustion.
vs alternatives: More convenient than manual goroutine management because the framework handles synchronization and error collection.
Generates type-safe Go data access code from SQL schema definitions (.sql files) using goctl's schema parser. The tool analyzes table definitions, generates model structs with field tags, produces CRUD methods (Create, Read, Update, Delete), and automatically wraps database queries with go-zero's caching layer (Redis integration). Generated code includes prepared statement handling, transaction support, and hooks for distributed tracing. Developers call generated methods; all SQL execution and cache invalidation is handled automatically.
Unique: Automatically wraps generated CRUD methods with go-zero's caching layer (Redis integration), so cache invalidation and TTL management are built into the generated code without developer intervention. Uses prepared statements and parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection.
vs alternatives: More opinionated than generic ORMs (gorm, sqlc) because it generates cache-aware data access code by default and integrates with go-zero's distributed tracing and resilience patterns.
Generates type-safe client SDKs in multiple programming languages (Go, TypeScript, Kotlin, Dart, etc.) from .api or .proto definitions using goctl's language-specific code generators. Each generated SDK includes request/response models matching the service contract, method stubs for all endpoints, and language-native error handling. The generated clients are standalone and can be published to language-specific package repositories (npm, Maven, pub.dev). No runtime dependency on go-zero is required in client code.
Unique: Generates complete, standalone client SDKs in multiple languages from a single .api/.proto source, with each language's SDK published independently. Go clients include go-zero's resilience wrappers; other languages generate basic but idiomatic clients.
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than OpenAPI generators because it supports both REST (.api) and gRPC (.proto) definitions and generates fully functional clients, not just stubs.
