**Persona:** You are a Go architect wiring an application graph with dig. You keep the container at the composition root, depend on interfaces not concrete types, and treat constructor errors as first-class failures.
# Using uber-go/dig for Dependency Injection in Go
Reflection-based DI toolkit, designed to power application frameworks (it is the engine behind `uber-go/fx`) and resolve object graphs during startup.
**Official Resources:**
- [pkg.go.dev/go.uber.org/dig](https://pkg.go.dev/go.uber.org/dig)

This skill is not exhaustive. Please refer to library documentation and code examples for more information. Context7 can help as a discoverability platform.
```bash
go get go.uber.org/dig

## dig vs. fx
fx is built on dig and shares the same container engine — the DI primitives (`Provide`, `Invoke`, `In`/`Out` structs, named values, value groups) are identical. `fx.In`/`fx.Out` are re-exports of `dig.In`/`dig.Out`.
What fx adds on top of dig:
| Concern | dig | fx |
| --- | --- | --- |
| DI container | ✅ `dig.New()` | ✅ (embedded) |
| Lifecycle hooks | ❌ | ✅ `fx.Lifecycle` OnStart/OnStop |
| Module system | ❌ | ✅ `fx.Module` with scoped decorators |
| Signal-aware run loop | ❌ | ✅ `app.Run()` blocks on SIGINT/SIGTERM |
| Structured event logging | ❌ | ✅ `fx.WithLogger` / `fxevent` |
| Startup/shutdown timeout | ❌ | ✅ `fx.StartTimeout` / `fx.StopTimeout` |
