Echo

What it is

Echo is an open-source backend framework written in Go. It is available on Linux, macOS and Windows, giving developers a framework option across those operating systems. The listed framework type is backend, and Go is its primary language. Echo uses a free pricing model and provides a free plan. Its open-source license allows teams to work with the framework as an open-source project. Echo’s scope is therefore centered on providing a Go backend framework rather than bundling those additional components. Developers can consider it when they want a free, open-source backend foundation that runs across the three listed desktop operating systems. The project website is https://echo.labstack.com/.

For and against

For

The verdict

Echo offers a focused, open-source backend framework for Go across three operating systems. Its main consideration is that authentication and ORM functionality are not included.

Who it suits

Echo suits Go developers seeking a free, open-source backend framework for Linux, macOS or Windows. Teams needing an ORM or built-in authentication must provide those capabilities separately.
