We use go:generate to generate services and types from protobufs.

    //go:generate protoc --go_out=src/generated/ protos/service.proto

Our CI pipeline is a dockerfile that looks vaguely like this:

    FROM golang:1.21 as build
    go generate
    go build
    go test

    FROM scratch
    COPY --from=build ...

The CI steps are: docker build <XXXX> && docker push <XXXX>

We have a goland project template that has options for generate, build, test that matches what we do in CI rather than having that _one_ edge case that is the difference between `make build` and `go build`. That difference has caused more than one outage in my career.
