Tools

golangci-lint. Meta-linter that can be integrated into ci tools. Highly configurable via command line args or in json/yaml/toml.
go modules. Package dependency management introduced in go 1.11

Libraries

It is Highly recommended to use the following libraries across all applicable projects.

testify. Provides better test organization, test suites, test setup/teardown.
kingpin. Better command line argument parsing.
go-chi/chi. For defining application and api endpoints. This library is specific to http server based applications.
- The go-chi/render library also provides nice http request/response managing.
logrus. Great logging solution go get github.com/sirupsen/logrus
