gqlgen
Go generate based graphql server library
gqlgen is a Go library for building GraphQL servers without any fuss. You get to Define your API using the GraphQL Schema Definition Language. You should never see map[string]interface{} here. We generate the boring bits, so you can focus on building your app quickly. Still not convinced enough to use gqlgen? Compare gqlgen with other Go graphql implementations. You need to tell gqlgen that it should only fetch friends if the user requested it. gqlgen will be able to automatically bind to strings or ints for models you have written yourself. gqlgen is a schema-first library, before writing code, you describe your API using the GraphQL Schema Definition Language. By default this goes into a file called schema.graphql but you can break it up into as many different files as you want. By default gqlgen will use any models in the model directory that match on name. -

AndroidLibXrayLite
Lightweight Android library that bundles the Xray networking core
AndroidLibXrayLite is a lightweight Android library that bundles the Xray networking core as an embeddable component for apps. Its purpose is to provide a minimal, size-optimized build of the native core with a clear Java/Kotlin interface to start, stop, and configure network tunnels. By exposing the core as an AAR with per-ABI artifacts, it keeps application footprints small while supporting common CPU architectures. The library abstracts process management and log streaming so host apps can control lifecycles and capture diagnostics. It’s particularly useful for developers who want to integrate secure, rule-based proxying into their own Android apps without re-implementing the native glue. With a focus on stability and easy updates, it shortens the path from concept to a working in-app networking stack. -

Cobra
A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions
Cobra is a library for creating powerful modern CLI applications, and at the same time a program to generate applications and command files. It provides a simple interface for creating powerful CLI interfaces, and will also generate application scaffolding so you can quickly develop your Cobra-based application. This scaffolding includes easy subcommand-based CLIs, fully POSIX-compliant flags, global, local and cascading flags, among many others. The structure of Cobra is based on commands, flags and arguments. The commands represent actions, the central point of the application; flags modify the behavior of commands; while arguments are things. With these easy-to-use concepts, users will natively understand how to use the application. -

env
A simple and zero-dependencies library to parse environment variables
Parse environment variables to structs in Go. In Go, it’s dead simple to get the value from an environment variable. If you have a type that is not supported out of the box by the lib, you are able to use (or define) and pass custom parsers (and their associated reflect.Type) to the env.ParseWithFuncs() function. Env supports by default anything that implements the TextUnmarshaler interface. That includes things like time.Time for example. The upside is that depending on the format you need, you don't need to change anything. The downside is that if you do need time in another format, you'll need to create your own type. By default, slice types will split the environment value on ,; you can change this behavior by setting the envSeparator tag. If you set the envExpand tag, environment variables (either in ${var} or $var format) in the string will be replaced according with the actual value of the variable. -

age
A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library)
age is a security-oriented tool and library by Filo Sottile. age is a simple, modern, secure encryption utility (and Go library) that emphasizes minimal configuration and strong defaults. It provides small explicit keys, no complex options, and is designed for UNIX-style composability; you can pipe into it, integrate it into scripts, etc. It supports a clearly defined format and promotes interoperability across implementations (there are Rust, TypeScript, etc). The project is well-suited for personal data encryption, backup use-cases, scripting encryption workflows, and embedding encryption in tools. Because of its design philosophy, it avoids the bloat of many older encryption utilities while maintaining strong cryptographic hygiene. It’s especially useful for developers or system administrators who want to adopt encryption without learning a multitude of options. -

go-chart
go chart is a basic charting library in go
Package chart is a very simple golang native charting library that supports time-series and continuous line charts. Master should now be on the v3.x codebase, which overhauls the api significantly. Per usual, see examples for more information. Actual chart configurations and examples can be found in the ./examples/ directory. They are simple CLI programs that write to output.png (they are also updated with go generate. Everything on the chart.Chart object has defaults that can be overridden. Whenever a developer sets a property on the chart object, it is to be assumed that value will be used instead of the default. The best way to see the api in action is to look at the examples in the ./_examples/ directory. I wanted to make a charting library that used only native golang, that could be stood up on a server (i.e. it had built-in fonts). The goal with the API itself is to have the "zero value be useful", and to require the user to not code more than they absolutely needed. -

Go Jsonnet
This an implementation of Jsonnet in pure Go
go-jsonnet is a pure Go implementation of the Jsonnet data templating language, which extends JSON with variables, functions, imports, and a standard library so you can generate complex configuration safely. Instead of hand-maintaining massive JSON files, you write concise, reusable templates that evaluate to JSON or YAML, with deterministic semantics and rich error messages. The repository ships both an embeddable VM for Go programs and a command-line interpreter, making it easy to integrate templating into build systems, CLIs, and services. Import paths and custom resolvers let you structure large configuration trees across directories or remote sources, while top-level arguments and external variables parameterize builds per environment. Native functions can be registered from Go to expose domain-specific helpers without forking the language. Tooling such as a formatter and linter-friendly errors encourages clean, consistent templates that scale across teams. -

Vegeta
HTTP load testing tool and library. It's over 9000!
Vegeta is a versatile HTTP load testing tool built out of a need to drill HTTP services with a constant request rate. It can be used both as a command line utility and a library. You can install Vegeta using the Homebrew package manager on Mac OS X. Both the library and the CLI are versioned with SemVer v2.0.0. After v8.0.0, the two components are versioned separately to better isolate breaking changes to each. CLI releases are tagged with cli/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and published on the Github releases page. As for the library, new versions are tagged with both lib/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. The latter tag is required for compatibility with go mod. The JSON format makes integration with programs that produce targets dynamically easier. Each target is one JSON object in its own line. The method and url fields are required. If present, the body field must be base64 encoded. The generated JSON Schema defines the format in detail. -

XLSX
Go (golang) library for reading and writing XLSX files
xlsx is a library to simplify reading and writing the XML format used by recent version of Microsoft Excel in Go programs. Version 3.0.0 introduces some more breaking changes in the API. All methods that can return an `xlsx.File` struct now accept zero, one or many `xlsx.FileOption` functions as their final arguments. These can be used to modify the behavior of the resultant struct, in particular they replace the `…WithRowLimit` variants of those methods with the result of calling `xlsx.RowLimit` and they add the ability to define a custom backing store for the spreadsheet data to be held in whilst processing. The full API docs can be viewed using go’s built in documentation tool. -

Cloud Foundation Toolkit Project
The Cloud Foundation toolkit provides GCP best practices as code
Cloud Foundation Toolkit is a best-practices-as-code project intended to help teams build and manage Google Cloud environments in a more standardized, production-ready way. At its core, it combines a comprehensive set of Terraform blueprints with developer tooling that supports the creation and management of those blueprints. The repository is aimed at infrastructure teams that want reusable, policy-aligned starting points instead of assembling foundational cloud environments from scratch every time. Because the included blueprints are described as production-ready and aligned with Google recommendations, the project is particularly useful for organizations establishing landing zones, repeatable environment patterns, and governed infrastructure workflows. The presence of a dedicated CLI also expands the project beyond static modules by giving users tooling support for authoring and operating blueprint-based infrastructure. -

GCP Config Connector
GCP Config Connector, a Kubernetes add-on for managing GCP resources
GCP Config Connector is a Kubernetes add-on that allows Google Cloud resources to be managed through Kubernetes-style configuration and the cluster API. Its central idea is that infrastructure objects such as Cloud Storage or Cloud Spanner resources can be described declaratively in manifests, after which Config Connector creates or updates the corresponding Google Cloud resources and continuously reconciles them to match the declared state. This makes the project highly valuable for teams practicing GitOps, platform engineering, or Kubernetes-centered operations, because it brings cloud resource management into the same control model used for application deployment. The repository also reflects an active emphasis on resource development and reconciliation reliability, including a newer direct development approach intended to provide a more Kubernetes-native authoring experience. -

Library ants implements a goroutine pool with fixed capacity, managing and recycling a massive number of goroutines, allowing developers to limit the number of goroutines in your concurrent programs. Managing and recycling a massive number of goroutines automatically. Purging overdue goroutines periodically. Abundant APIs: submitting tasks, getting the number of running goroutines, tuning capacity of pool dynamically, releasing pool, rebooting pool. Handle panic gracefully to prevent programs from crash. Efficient in memory usage and it even achieves higher performance than unlimited goroutines in Golang. Nonblocking mechanism. Just take a imagination that your program starts a massive number of goroutines, resulting in a huge consumption of memory. To mitigate that kind of situation, all you need to do is to import ants package and submit all your tasks to a default pool with fixed capacity, activated when package ants is imported. -

go-toml
Go library for the TOML file format
Go library for the TOML format. This library supports TOML v1.0.0. Full API, examples, and implementation notes are available in the Go documentation. As much as possible, this library is designed to behave similarly as the standard library's encoding/json. While go-toml favors usability, it is written with performance in mind. Most operations should not be shockingly slow. Decoder can be set to "strict mode", which makes it error when some parts of the TOML document was not present in the target structure. This is a great way to check for typos. When most decoding errors occur, go-toml returns DecodeError), which contains a human readable contextualized version of the error. TOML supports native local date/times. It allows to represent a given date, time, or date-time without relation to a timezone or offset. To support this use-case, go-toml provides LocalDate, LocalTime, and LocalDateTime. -

Go Container Registry
Go library and CLIs for working with container registries
go-containerregistry is a Go library (with companion tools) for interacting with container images and registries using OCI/Docker formats. It provides primitives to read, write, mutate, sign, and copy images and indexes across registries without shelling out to Docker. High-level utilities like crane and gcrane offer convenient CLIs for everyday tasks—listing tags, copying images between registries, flattening, creating tarballs, and more. The library handles authentication via a pluggable keychain system that understands Docker config files, credential helpers, and environment credentials. It understands multiple on-disk layouts (tarball, OCI layout, remote) and lets you transform images in memory by adding or rebasing layers, adjusting config, and annotating manifests. Because everything is regular Go code, it’s straightforward to embed in CI/CD systems, policy engines, and bespoke supply-chain tooling. -

Interactsh
An OOB interaction gathering server and client library
Interactsh is an open-source tool for detecting out-of-band interactions. It is a tool designed to detect vulnerabilities that cause external interactions. Interactsh Cli client requires go1.17+ to install successfully. interactsh-client with -sf, -session-file flag can be used store/read the current session information from user defined file which is useful to resume the same session to poll the interactions even after the client gets stopped or closed. Running the interactsh-client in verbose mode (v) to see the whole request and response, along with an output file to analyze afterwards. Using the server flag, interactsh-client can be configured to connect with a self-hosted Interactsh server, this flag accepts single or multiple server separated by comma. Default servers are subject to change/rotate/down at any time, thus we recommend using a self-hosted interactsh server if you are experiencing issues with the default server.
