On the Go side take a look at go-kit https://github.com/go-kit/kit You can get a lot of boilerplate out of the box, and it's not hard to extend it with more sophisticated features like custom server timeouts. The New York Times has a nice set of Go microservice frameworks with simple server boilerplate also: https://github.com/NYTimes/gizmo

My 2 cents At Globality[1], we use microcosm [2], an internally built framework for crafting applications. We have 45+ microservices, all built on top of it, and it's a joy. I was looking for a framework that will give me similar benefits with Golang. Something that I can take out of the box with some convention-over-configuration. I found micro [3] and gizmo [4]. (There are more) It seems to me that a full-blown web app doesn't come very natural to Golang yet. There isn't a framework that will give you what you are used for from other languages/frameworks. I have a lot of experience with Golang and built many tools, and it always felt more natural to me when there is no database/models involved.

Since you're already familiar with Java, you might want to look at either Spring Boot or some of the new, smaller frameworks mentioned in my repo: https://github.com/tedyoung/awesome-java8/blob/master/README.... Go is also a good choice, but there are better frameworks than Iris. Depending on your needs, there's https://github.com/NYTimes/gizmo and Gin (https://gin-gonic.github.io/gin/).
