Kratos is a microservice-oriented governance framework implemented by golang, which offers convenient capabilities to help you quickly build a bulletproof application from scratch, such as:
- The [communication protocol](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/api) is based on the HTTP/gRPC through the definition of Protobuf.
- Abstract [transport](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/transport/overview) layer are support: [HTTP](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/transport/http) / [gRPC](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/transport/grpc).
- Powerful [middleware](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/middleware/overview) design, support: [Tracing (OpenTelemetry)](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/middleware/tracing)、[Metrics (Prometheus is default)](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/middleware/metrics)、[Recovery](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/middleware/recovery) and more.
- [Registry](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/registry) interface able to be connected with various other centralized registries through plug-ins.
- The [standard log interfaces](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/log) ease the integration of the third-party log libs and logs are collected through the *Fluentd*.
- The selection of the content [encoding](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/encoding) is automatically supported by Accept and Content-Type.
- Multiple data sources are supported for [configurations](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/config) and dynamic configurations (use atomic operations).
- In the protocol of HTTP/gRPC, use uniform [metadata](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/metadata) transfer method.
- You can define [errors](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/errors/) in protos and generate enums with protoc-gen-go.
- You can define [verification rules](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/component/middleware/validate) in Protobuf which is supported by HTTP/gRPC service.
- [Swagger API](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/guide/openapi) generated Automatically and embed Swagger UI endpoint can be started by adding [Swagger plugin](https://github.com/go-kratos/swagger-api).
Kratos has the most extensive and thorough [documentation](https://go-kratos.dev/en/docs/getting-started/start) and [example](./examples) library of all modern web application frameworks, making it a breeze to get started with the framework.
We also provide a [modern template](https://github.com/go-kratos/kratos-layout), This template should help reduce the work required to setup up a modern project.
Kratos boosts your productivity. With the integration of excellent resources and further support, programmers can get rid of most issues might encounter in the field of distributed systems and software engineering such that they are allowed to focus on the release of businesses only. Additionally, for each programmer, Kratos is also an ideal one learning warehouse for many aspects of microservices to enrich their experiences and skills.
* **Highly efficient**: Speeding up the efficiency of businesses upgrading.
* **Stable**: The base libs validated in the production environment which have the characters of the high testability, high coverage as well as high security and reliability.
* **Robust**: Eliminating misusing through high quality of the base libs.
* **High-performance**: Optimal performance excluding the optimization of hacking in case of *unsafe*.
* **Expandability**: Properly designed interfaces, you can expand utilities such as base libs to meet your further requirements.
If you discover a security vulnerability within Kratos, please send an e-mail to tonybase via go-kratos@googlegroups.com. All security vulnerabilities will be promptly addressed.
