+# Backend - Go (be-golang)
+
+## Purpose of this quickstarter
+Use this quickstarter when you want to use [Go](https://golang.org). Go is well
+suited for CLI tools, network/operational related things and microservices.
+
+## What files / which architecture is generated?
+
+```
+├── Jenkinsfile - Contains Jenkins build configuration
+├── README.md
+├── docker - Contains Dockerfile for the build
+│   └── Dockerfile
+├── sonar-project.properties - SonarQube Configuration
+├── main.go - Example Go file
+```
+
+## Frameworks used
+None, except the ODS [Jenkins Shared Library](https://github.com/opendevstack/ods-jenkins-shared-library)
+
+## Usage - how do you start after you provisioned this quickstarter
+Simply start to write Go code, e.g. by extending `main.go`. No further adjustments
+should be necessary. Typically, you'd want to use Go modules:
+```
+go mod init example.com/project/component
+```
+
+## How this quickstarter is built through Jenkins
+There are six steps:
+
+* Check that all files are gofmt'd.
+* Run SonarQube analysis.
+* Run all package tests.
+* Build the binary (placing it into the `docker` directory).
+* Build the container image.
+* Deploy.
+
+## Builder Slave used
+
+This quickstarter uses
+[Golang builder slave](https://github.com/opendevstack/ods-project-quickstarters/tree/master/jenkins-slaves/golang).
+
+## Known limitations
+N/A
