The Go42 guide

Go42 is a Go service blueprint that brings application code, development workflows, and project documentation together. Use these guides to understand the starting point and make it your own.

Start here

1. Adopt go42: establish the application’s identity and prepare the development environment.
2. Learn the default workflows: develop, verify, release, and operate the application.
3. Understand the documentation boundaries: keep Go42 guidance and application knowledge in their respective homes.

A foundation you can change

The blueprint includes HTTP and gRPC interfaces, database-backed authentication, background workers, and development and deployment tooling. The go42 repository contains the implementation.

The code and configuration in your checkout determine the effective behavior. Review inherited defaults and record your application’s own requirements, decisions, and operating context in its embedded docs/ directory.

About this guide

These initial guides cover adoption, the default workflows, and documentation ownership. Detailed explanations of individual subsystems will be added as they are documented and verified against the blueprint.
