Gin

What Gin is

Gin is a free, open-source backend framework for Go. It supports server-side rendering and is intended for self-hosted deployment. Its listed profile is centered on projects that need a Go backend with SSR among the available rendering modes. Gin does not include an ORM or built-in authentication, so those capabilities are not part of the framework’s stated offering. The framework has a free plan and no listed paid tier or trial. Its open-source license model allows teams to use the framework in self-managed environments. These details make Gin a focused option for developers choosing a Go backend framework and deciding how rendering, deployment, data access, and authentication should be handled. The official website is gin-gonic.com/en/. Teams can weigh the included SSR support and self-hosting target against the absence of an included ORM and built-in authentication when matching Gin to a project’s requirements.
