GoCenter served as a central repository for Go modules, providing developers with a public and immutable source for resolving Go packages, thereby addressing the challenge of managing dependencies from various independent repositories. The service offered a repeatable and fast module resolution process by automatically processing and validating Go projects into versioned modules, making them available to the community. Developers could use GoCenter via the Go client or by configuring a repository manager like Artifactory, which could proxy GoCenter to ensure reliable builds and mitigate connection issues. Additionally, GoCenter featured a search function for locating modules and allowed developers to submit their projects for inclusion, provided certain criteria were met. Despite its sunsetting as of May 1, 2021, GoCenter aimed to support the growing Go community by simplifying the build process and enhancing compatibility with DevOps needs.
