+Flamingo
+
+Flamingo is a high productivity go based framework for rapidly building fast and pluggable web projects.
+It is used to build scalable and maintainable (web)applications.
+
+Flamingo is:
+
+* open source
+* written in go
+* easy to learn
+* fast and flexible
+
+Go as simple, powerful and typesafe language is great to implement and scale serverside logic.
+Flamingo has a clean architecture with clear dependencies in mind and offers a typical features and support for nowadays web applications:
+
+* Powerful Templating Engines. E.g. support for Pug templates with reusable mixins and lightweight scripting.
+* Configuration concepts using yml and support for multiple areas and contexts
+* Powerful Dependency Injection
+* A Module concept for building modular and pluggable applications
+* Authentication concepts and security middleware
+* Flexible routing with support for prefix routes and reverse routing
+* Web Controller Support with: Request / Response / Form Handling etc
+* Operational Readyness: Logging, (distributed) Tracing, Metrics and Healthchecks with seperate endpoint
+* Localisation
+* Commands
+* Sessionhandling and Management
+* GraphQL support and therefore support to build nice SPA and PWAs on top of it
+* Resilience and Caching for external APIs calls.
+
+Flamingo itself does not contain ORM Mapper or libraries - instead it emphasizes "ports and adapters" architecture - so that you have a technology free (domain) model and any possible (and replaceable) persitence behind it.
+That makes Flamingo useful to build microservices and applications - especially to build "frontends" or portals that require interaction with other (micro) services in a distributed architecture. 
+When sticking to the architectural recommendation you can build modular applications with replaceable adapters that gives you independed testability.
+
+With **"Flamingo Commerce"** there is an additional active projects that offer rich and flexible features to build modern e-commerce applications.
