Ship fast. Ship lean. Ship in Go.
FastY Go is a collection of production-ready tools and example applications that demonstrate how to build modern web services in Go with a minimal, high-performance stack — no frameworks, no ORMs, no bloat.
| Concern | Solution | Why |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP server | fasthttp | Consistent low-latency under high concurrency |
| Routing | fasthttp/router | Zero-allocation path matching |
| Templates | a-h/templ | Type-safe HTML components compiled to Go |
| UI components | fastygo/ui8kit | Tailwind CSS primitives in the style of shadcn/ui |
| Styling | Tailwind CSS v4 | Utility-first, design-token driven |
| Storage | bbolt | Embedded key-value store, single-file database |
| Sessions | fasthttp/session | Server-side sessions with pluggable backends |
One binary. No runtime dependencies. Deploy anywhere.
The component library at the center of FastY Go applications:
go get github.com/fastygo/ui8kit@latestimport (
"github.com/fastygo/ui8kit/ui"
"github.com/fastygo/ui8kit/layout"
)
templ Page() {
@layout.Shell(layout.ShellProps{Title: "Dashboard", BrandName: "FastY"}) {
@ui.Stack(ui.StackProps{}) {
@ui.Title(ui.TitleProps{Order: 1}, "Welcome")
@ui.Button(ui.ButtonProps{Variant: "primary"}, "Get started")
}
}
}Typed props. Server-rendered HTML. Embedded CSS. Dark mode. Zero JavaScript frameworks.

Minimal dependencies. Every package earns its place. Transitive imports are counted, not ignored.
Server-rendered by default. HTML is assembled on the server and sent to the browser. Client-side interactivity is opt-in, not assumed.
Single binary deployment. CSS, icons, and templates compile into the Go binary. No asset pipelines in production. No Node.js on the server.
Explicit over magical. Go structs as props, not string maps. Compile-time errors, not runtime surprises. Readable code over clever abstractions.
Contributions are welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md for setup instructions and commit conventions.
