How do you choose the project structure in Go?

The choice of project structure in Go depends on the scale and goals of the project, but I usually follow these principles:
- Simplicity and clarity: the structure should be intuitive for new participants.
- Package separation: logically related functions and types are grouped into separate packages.
- Use of standard approaches, such as a structure with folders cmd/, pkg/, internal/.
Example of a basic structure:
myapp/
cmd/ # application entry point
myapp/
main.go
pkg/ # common libraries that can be used outside the project
internal/ # packages accessible only within the project
api/ # API description, protobuf, swagger
configs/ # configuration files
scripts/ # auxiliary scripts
docs/ # documentation
For larger projects, consider architectural patterns (e.g., Clean Architecture) and separate business logic, interfaces, and infrastructure.
