Athens Go Module Proxy

Overview

Athens is an open source implementation of the Go module proxy, the GOPROXY protocol built into the Go toolchain. Point your developers and CI pipelines at Athens and every go build fetches modules through it: Athens downloads each module version once, caches it on disk, and serves every later request from that cache. The result is faster builds, far less duplicated download traffic, and reproducible builds that keep working even when an upstream module is deleted, retagged, or its source host is unreachable. Athens speaks the Go module download protocol and is driven entirely by the standard go command, so there is no web console to manage.

Common uses

• Cache Go modules once and serve them fast to your team
• Guarantee reproducible builds that survive upstream deletions
• Cut external download traffic and build times across CI
