Go backend development best practices for microservices with clean architecture, observability, and production-ready patterns.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Go Backend Development for Microservices
## Core Principles
- Apply Clean Architecture with clear separation into handlers, services, repositories, and domain models
- Prioritize interface-driven development with explicit dependency injection
- Write short, focused functions with a single responsibility
- Ensure safe use of goroutines, and guard shared state with channels or sync primitives
## Project Structure
Maintain modular project structure with clear directories:
```
project/
├── cmd/ # Application entry points
├── internal/ # Private application code
├── pkg/ # Public library code
├── api/ # API definitions (OpenAPI, protobuf)
├── configs/ # Configuration files
└── test/ # Additional test utilities
```
## Error Handling
- Always check and handle errors explicitly
- Use wrapped errors for traceability: `fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err)`
- Create custom error types for domain-specific errors
- Return errors up the call stack with appropriate context
- Log errors at the appropriate level with sufficient context
## Context Propagation
- Use context propagation for request-scoped values, deadlines, and cancellations

How to install
mdr add mindrally/skills/go-backend-microservices@sha256:d3e4580c1ef702e1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.7682ca7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
