Go APIs, ready for orbit.

Website · Documentation · pkg.go.dev · Source

gorbital is a Go library and a CLI, orb, that write a production API into your repository: PostgreSQL, sign-in with 2FA and passkeys, API keys, organisations, background jobs, email, feature flags, audit logs, observability and ops endpoints. You own every file it writes. The parts that must stay correct live in the library, so security fixes reach you with go get.

go install gorbital.dev/cli/cmd/orb@latest
orb new my-api --preset full
cd my-api && orb dev

orb dev starts PostgreSQL and a mail catcher in Docker, runs migrations and seed data, and serves your API with its docs and the Dev Portal.

• Plain Go. net/http, log/slog, constructors. No DI container, no reflection wiring.
• PostgreSQL only. Jobs, sessions, rate limits and settings live there too. No MySQL, no SQLite.
• You own the code. orb upgrade merges template changes on a branch and never overwrites your edits.
• Your app keeps working without us. Uninstall orb and it still builds, tests and deploys.

v0.1.0 is the first public release. v0 carries no compatibility promise; v1.0.0 freezes the API after an external security review. See the changelog and roadmap.
