• Observability: Includes patterns for context propagation, structured logging, tracing, and metrics.
• Database Operations: Demonstrates safe transaction management and parameterized queries.
• HTTP Middleware: Provides templates for common middleware like RequestID, Logging, Recovery, and Authentication.
• Use Case: Develop a new microservice by leveraging the provided templates for handlers, services, and repositories, ensuring consistent error handling, testing, and observability from the start.
