Simple file uploader

I found the following interview exercise and I decided to give it a try

Considerations

• I tried to use the least amount of external dependencies
• I tested on Ubuntu/Mac Os, not guaranteed that'll work on Windows
• By default, the upload folder is in ./../uploads (I could've added a env variable or passing it by cli)

How to run the App

I added a Makefile to make it simpler,

Running the app

make run

Removing binary and 'uploads' folder

make clean

Endpoints

• Postman collection here

Get all files

Request

curl --location --request GET 'localhost:8089/uploads'
