Has anyone ever used gokit in real project?

[johnDoe2018]

Are there any companies who use gokit in the wild?

[karthikmuralidharan]

I remember hearing Uber using it for their microservices.

[yurishkuro]

not a lot, but yes, a few projects use it.

[groob]

We use Go-Kit in multiple projects at github.com/kolide

[sas1024]

Yes, of course. We are using go-kit for our microservices.

[tkanos]

In my company it's on production.

[csk6124]

We are using this library on production.

[vetcher]

In our company, all go microservices uses go-kit

Our production app IOS/Android runs on gokit microservices running in Kubernetes.

At Schibsted Media Group, we run lot of microservices with Go-kit

We've have been using go-kit at https://coins.ph/ for a year and a half in production by now,

it works fine, but:

• it has quite steep learning curve (you can easily "do it wrong")
• its a lot of boiler-plate code to read/write, that slowed us down quite a bit

in summary, I would recommend using it only when you 100% sure you'll need to implement > 1 transport (HTTP+GRPC is a classic),
otherwise, if you are most likely gonna have just a single transport, you'll be more productive without go-kit complexity, just don't forget to "guard" your business logic from your transport logic (so that you can change it without worrying about transport as well).

A few internal services I've written use it as well.

How do you deal with that boilerplate? Would you recommend the goa?

We use it for an API into our service discovery framework, with the fleet composed of about 1000 members. Works well, and if I had to do it over again, I'd still use go-kit.
