Sphere

This project has been transferred to the go-sphere/sphere repository for maintenance.

Sphere is a project template for building monolithic applications with a focus on simplicity, maintainability, and scalability. It uses ent for schema management and proto for API definitions, providing a solid foundation that can be adapted for microservices as your project evolves.

Sphere comes with powerful code generation tools to create proto files, Swagger documents, TypeScript clients, and more, speeding up your development workflow.
