RuleGo
A lightweight, embedded Go rule engine framework that orchestrates business logic through configurable DAG-based rule chains, supporting hot-reload, heterogeneous data source integration, and zero external middleware dependencies.
Best When
You need a high-performance, dependency-free rule engine embedded in a Go application, especially for edge computing or IoT scenarios where memory and CPU are constrained.
Avoid When
You need a GUI-first, no-code workflow tool or are building in a non-Go language stack without FFI capabilities.
Use Cases
- • Route and transform IoT sensor data at the edge without external middleware
- • Dynamically update business rules (risk scoring, pricing, routing) without application restarts
- • Build low-code workflow automation platforms with reusable component libraries
- • Integrate heterogeneous data sources (HTTP, MQTT, Kafka, TCP) through unified endpoint handling
- • Implement microservice orchestration and API composition pipelines in Go
Not For
- • Teams not working in Go or comfortable embedding a Go library
- • Projects requiring a fully managed cloud rule engine with SLA guarantees
- • Use cases needing complex stateful saga workflows with compensation logic
