I love sqlite backed system, one less component to worry about. But when using Tansu with sqlite storage, what are my options for horizonal scaling and keeping Tansu HA?

Also, are there any benchmark on how Tansu with S3 storage would perform in comparison to Kafka or something like WarpStream?

This seems helpful. If you're writing new applications frequently, have something like this really helps.

I created a simple start kit set of packages for my projects, not as exhaustive as yours though -- https://github.com/krsoninikhil/go-rest-kit

Spring Boot allows you write application configuration in `application.properties` file and pull any variables used from environment. This replicates the same in Go, except it uses a yaml format and you can leave the value empty which you expect to be present in env.

Show HN: FastAPI like controllers for Gin based Go apps

Motivation: I should be able to write following handler / controller similar to FastAPI by just defining SpecificRequest and SpecificResponse i.e. get request body type as argument and return response type along with error:

func myHandler(ctx context.Context, request SpecificRequest) (*SpecificResponse, error) {}

Exposing simple CRUD APIs is as simple as following

- Ensure your model implements crud.Model, you can embed pgdb.BaseModel to get default implementation for few methods.

- Define your request and response types and have them implement crud.Request and crud.Response interfaces.

- Add routes specifying your request, response and model types

Thanks for feedback. I'll update it to make it more clear. When I was reading on these terms, a single line description did not help much. A simple dictionary would've been kind of similar. Any specific suggestion, you would like to make?

This is great, I wanted to able to edit hastebin/pastebin without login and it solves this exact problem. Since the link is not that easily guessable, content integrity should not be a problem.
