bootstrap capability

bootstrap adds the Composition Root pattern to your Go service, keeping main.go thin and all dependency wiring in a dedicated, testable module.

What You Get

Section titled “What You Get”
  • Thin main.go that calls bootstrap.Run(version)
  • internal/bootstrap/bootstrap.go with all dependency wiring
  • Partial injection points

When to Use

Section titled “When to Use”

Use bootstrap alongside platform in any service where you want testable dependency injection. The Composition Root pattern keeps wiring logic out of main.go and in a package that tests can import and override.
