Core toolkit
Three pillars behind every serious launch
Identity, service structure, and scaffolding that work together — so new products start professional and stay maintainable.
GoStartKit Auth
Identity and access for production systems: users, roles, tokens, email/phone flows, and module permissions — ready to deploy and extend.

GoStartKit Web
A practical Go web foundation for services and APIs — consistent structure without heavy framework ceremony.

Learn moreWho it is for
Built for teams that need momentum and operational discipline
Whether you are launching the first version or formalizing a backend platform, GoStartKit keeps the reusable layer consistent.
Product engineers
Reuse battle-tested modules and keep custom work where it creates product differentiation.
Platform owners
Deploy independently, scale horizontally, and evolve modules without rewriting the whole stack.
How it works
From install to production in a clear path
A practical workflow designed for delivery teams — not just demos.
Install the toolkit
Pull Auth or CE modules with a simple install path and environment-aware binaries.
Configure & initialize
Point to your database, set credentials, and initialize schemas with production defaults.
Compose your domain
Add only the modules you need — content, files, orgs, catalog, orders, or mail.
Extend and ship
Use gskctl to scaffold models and APIs, then deploy multi-instance with R/W separation.
Why GoStartKit
Everything you need to start — nothing you have to rebuild later
Focus on product differentiation. Reuse the infrastructure teams keep rewriting.
Ship faster
Skip months of auth, CRUD, and multi-tenant plumbing. Start from modules designed for real products.
Modular by design
Compose Auth and CE products independently. Replace or extend pieces without a monorepo rewrite.
CLI-first workflow
gskctl generates project structure, models, and code paths so engineers stay on business logic.
Built to operate
Read/write separation, multi-instance, and multi-database support from day one — not as an afterthought.
Engineering standards
Professional defaults that hold up after launch
GoStartKit is shaped by how backend products actually operate: independent services, explicit configuration, horizontal scale, and documentation that supports delivery teams.
Clear boundaries
Each product owns a domain surface with predictable APIs, so teams can reason about ownership and change.
Production defaults
Configuration, init, and runtime paths are designed for real deployments across macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Horizontal growth
Scale read traffic, isolate write paths, and run multiple instances without redesigning the system.
Open and extensible
Open-source foundations you can audit, fork, and extend — with documentation that supports real delivery.
Product catalog
Compose the modules your product needs
Each module ships with a clear domain surface, install path, and production-oriented defaults.
FAQ
Straight answers for technical teams
The essentials teams usually ask before adopting a modular backend toolkit.
Is GoStartKit a framework or a set of services?
It is a modular toolkit: production-oriented services (Auth and CE products) plus CLI scaffolding. You compose the pieces your product needs instead of adopting a single rigid framework.
Can modules run independently?
Yes. Products are designed for independent deployment with multi-instance and multi-database support, so teams can scale domains separately.
What stack does it target?
Go-native backends with REST-friendly service boundaries. Docs also cover related client and platform targets including web, mobile, and desktop environments.
Where should a new team start?
Begin with Getting Started, install Auth if you need identity, then add CE modules that match your domain. gskctl helps scaffold the custom layer on top.
Start with solid foundations
Install the toolkit, scaffold your first service, and ship with Auth and business modules already in place. Documentation and examples walk you through every step.
