About go-zero

zeromicro/go-zero

A cloud-native Go microservices framework with cli tool for productivity.

Provides code generation from `.api` schema files to HTTP/RPC services with built-in resilience patterns—automatic timeout propagation, circuit breakers, rate limiting, and load shedding—all without manual configuration. Features cross-language code generation (Go, iOS, Android, Kotlin, Dart, TypeScript, JavaScript) and integrates with service discovery, distributed tracing, and parameter validation across HTTP and gRPC protocols.

About jzero

jzero-io/jzero

Automatically generate server and client framework code based on descriptive files (proto/api/sql), while using built-in jzero-skills to empower AI to generate production-ready business code adhering to best practices.

Built on go-zero, jzero extends code generation to support git-based change detection and selective file processing for large projects, while offering template-driven architecture that decouples from specific infrastructure choices (databases, caches, config centers). The framework provides layered module and plugin design for team development, with customizable enterprise templates and a GoLand IDE plugin for enhanced developer workflow.
