Why we included this project

Yokai is a Go framework that handles the plumbing most backend services need anyway: dependency wiring, configuration, logging, tracing, metrics, and health checks, so you can spend your time on application logic instead. Extension modules add public HTTP and gRPC servers, workers, and ORM support, and you can pull in community modules or write your own. The built-in observability and the private infrastructure HTTP server for debugging and health checks make it a solid base for production Go services. If you run several Go services and would rather not hand-roll the same setup in each one, Yokai gives you a consistent, modular starting point, with ready-to-use templates for HTTP, gRPC, worker, and MCP applications.
