CloudWeGo is a collection of middleware open-sourced by ByteDance's Infrastructure Service Framework team, designed for rapidly building enterprise-level cloud-native microservices architecture.
The common characteristics of CloudWeGo projects are high performance, high scalability, and high reliability, with a focus on microservices communication and governance.
CloudWeGo includes several key sub-projects such as Kitex, Hertz, Volo, Netpoll, Monoio, Sonic, covering both Go and Rust programming languages. From frameworks to networking libraries, encoding/decoding libraries, and serialization libraries, all are self-developed. These projects can be used independently or in combination, and a complete ecosystem has been built around them.
Ecosystem project links: Kitex-contrib, Hertz-contrib, Volo-rs.

CloudWeGo focuses on real enterprise user adoption, building an enterprise user support and maintenance system to continuously support new user adoption and meet the needs of existing enterprise users. Real feedback from enterprise users has driven the evolution of CloudWeGo to support diverse scenarios, enriching product capabilities and usability, enabling the project to be adopted in more scenarios and enterprises, achieving a positive feedback loop and mutual benefits.
As of the current date, Kitex & Hertz have been adopted by over 40 external enterprise users, including larger-scale adopters such as: Huaxing Securities, Founder Securities, Semir, Tanwan Games, Holomatic Technology, and NEXTDATA. Sonic has also been adopted within China Merchants Bank. Through user feedback, the adoption of CloudWeGo projects has yielded real cost, performance, and stability benefits. We welcome more enterprise users to join us and connect with the community for additional technical support.
