Overview
Goravel is a Go web framework that mirrors Laravel's structure and APIs, so PHP developers can reuse their conventions. It ships modules for HTTP routing, ORM, migrations, queues, task scheduling, JWT and session auth, cache, mail, gRPC and an Artisan-style CLI. It is a general backend scaffold with no AI-specific features.
Who it is for: Go developers, especially ex-Laravel users, building API backends
Strengths
- Broad built-in module set: ORM, migrations, queues, scheduler, mail, validation, gRPC
- Laravel-like API and Artisan console lower the learning curve for PHP developers
- Auth with JWT and session drivers, plus gates and policies for authorization
- MIT licensed, with a separate docs site and example repo
Weaknesses
- No AI or model integration; it is a generic web framework
- Laravel-style facades and conventions may feel unidiomatic to Go developers
- Extensions come from separate packages rather than the core
What it needs
- no GPU
- Docker + Compose
- Needs Go
