Marvin provides common tools and structure for services being built on Google App Engine by leaning heavily on the go-kit/kit/transport/http package. The service interface here is very similar to the service interface in NYT's gizmo/server/kit package so teams can build very similar looking software but use vasty different styles of infrastructure.
Marvin has been built to work with Go 1.8, which is available on App Engine Standard.
