Core Principles

• Write idiomatic Go code following Go conventions
• Utilize Go 1.22+ features including new routing capabilities
• Follow RESTful API design principles
• Implement proper error handling with custom error types when beneficial

Code Organization

• Clean Architecture principles with handlers, services, repositories, and domain models
• Interface-driven development with explicit dependency injection
• Modular project structure:
  • cmd/ - Application entry points
  • internal/ - Private application code
  • pkg/ - Public libraries
  • api/ - API definitions
  • configs/ - Configuration files
  • test/ - Test files

API Development

• Use the standard library's net/http package

• Implement proper HTTP method handling (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
• Input validation and JSON response formatting
• Middleware implementation for logging and authentication

Error Handling

• Use wrapped errors for traceability
• Implement explicit error handling
• Return errors rather than panicking
• Provide meaningful error messages
• Handle errors at appropriate levels

Concurrency

• Goroutine safety and context propagation
• Use channels for communication between goroutines
• Implement proper cancellation with context
• Avoid race conditions with proper synchronization

Testing

• Table-driven unit testing patterns
• Integration testing for APIs
• Mocking with interfaces
• Use testing package effectively

DevOps Integration

• Linting with golangci-lint
• Security checks in CI pipelines
• OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing and observability
• Proper logging with structured log formats
