Kit is a microservices architectural framework and toolkit for Go. It provides a set of standardized primitives and abstractions for implementing service, endpoint, and transport layers in a decoupled manner.
The framework focuses on system instrumentation through integrated distributed request tracing and a service instrumentation toolkit that utilizes counters and gauges to export performance data to external monitoring backends. It includes a structured logging library that records system events as key-value pairs to ensure compatibility with log aggregation tools.
The project covers a broad set of operational capabilities, including transport-agnostic service design, middleware-based request wrapping, and log level management. It also provides a command-line tool for generating service boilerplate code based on predefined architectural patterns.
