Google recently announced the open beta release of the newest set of features in Google Cloud Endpoints. The part of the announcement that got me especially excited was: We’re also announcing support for the OpenAPI Specification. We’re a founding member of the Open API Initiative (OAI), and recognize the value of standardizing how REST APIs are described. In other words Google Cloud Endpoints can be completely configured using an OAI spec, one for example that has been generated by goa!

Today I’m very excited to announce the release of goa v1.0.0. goa provides a design first approach for building microservices in Go. It consists of three parts: a DSL for describing the API design, a code generation tool that generates an OpenAPI specification as well as boilerplate code for the service and the clients, and a set of library packages leveraged by both the generated and non generated code. This release represents the culmination of 2 years of work spanning 5 complete rewrites.
