A Go tool that validates Clean Architecture rules like The Dependency Rule and module interactions in Go projects.
What is go-cleanarch?
go-cleanarch is a static analysis tool for Go that enforces Clean Architecture principles by validating imports between layers. It ensures proper layer separation and dependency direction, helping maintain a testable, framework-independent codebase. The tool automates compliance with rules like The Dependency Rule to keep business logic decoupled from external frameworks and databases.
Go developers and teams building or maintaining large-scale applications where maintainability, testability, and adherence to Clean Architecture are priorities. It is particularly useful for projects requiring strict separation between domain, application, interfaces, and infrastructure layers.
Developers choose go-cleanarch for its automated enforcement of Clean Architecture, which reduces manual code review overhead and prevents architectural drift. Its unique selling points include customizable layer names, flexible ignore options for tests or packages, and CI/CD integration via exit code reporting.
