What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Run the code generator against your Protocol Buffers API definitions to produce AIP-compliant Go boilerplate.

USE CASE 2

Import the pagination helper to handle page-size validation, tokens, and next-page logic the Google-recommended way.

USE CASE 3

Standardize API design across multiple services on a team so every API follows the same AIP patterns.

USE CASE 4

Build a gRPC API in Go that integrates cleanly with Google Cloud tooling and conventions.
