zeromicro/go-zero

This system is a comprehensive Go microservice framework that provides a full-stack toolkit for building, deploying, and managing distributed applications. It offers code generation for APIs, RPC services, and database models, alongside a rich set of core utilities for concurrency, caching, and observability. The framework integrates modern standards like OpenTelemetry for tracing and supports multiple data stores including Redis, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL, while also providing infrastructure helpers for Docker, Kubernetes, and CLI tooling.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 29 July 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 84313f2e92 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
