    From the README

    The name is inspired by the Greek-mythology-based game "God of War". It tells the adventures of Kratos becoming a god of war from a mortal and launching a god-killing slaughter.

    Kratos is a microservice-oriented governance framework implemented by golang, which offers convenient capabilities to help you quickly build a bulletproof application from scratch, such as:

    Kratos is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.

    Kratos has the most extensive and thorough documentation and example library of all modern web application frameworks, making it a breeze to get started with the framework.

    We also provide a modern template. This template should help reduce the work required to set up modern projects.

    Kratos boosts your productivity. With the integration of excellent resources and further support, programmers can get rid of most issues might encounter in the field of distributed systems and software engineering such that they are allowed to focus on the release of businesses only. Additionally, for each programmer, Kratos is also an ideal one learning warehouse for many aspects of microservices to enrich their experiences and skills.
