Simple GO REST API microservice:

This project contains a simple GO rest API service. This service is useful to test the Kubernetes and Docker.

We also packaged it as a Docker Image. We used mutli stage build to create the small docker image. and The size of the image is very small. It's just 12.4 MB. You can build/push/pull it from docker hub using below command.

$ docker build -t davarski/go-rest-api-demo .
$ docker login
$ docker push davarski/go-rest-api-demo
$ docker pull davarski/go-rest-api-demo

API Details:

We are using the Gorilla Mux and Following routes are implemented

  • /info - Returns the info about the request.
  • /health-check - Returns JSON response as True if the service is running fine. We can also add custom delay by setting the HEALTHDELAY Environment variable.
  • /env - Returns present container environment variables in JSON format.
  • /quote - Returns a Random Quote from the quotes.json file.

How to Run:

Clone the repo and run the main.go using the go run

### Install Go
$ wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.18.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go && sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.18.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz

$ grep GO ~/.bashrc 
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export PATH=${GOROOT}/bin:${PATH}
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=${GOPATH}/bin:${PATH}

$ go version
go version go1.18.4 linux/amd64

$ go run main.go 
2022/08/01 12:05:54 Simple API Server(1.0.0) running on 0.0.0.0:32000

By default server listens on 10000 Port on all Interfaces (0.0.0.0) of node. Goto the 127.0.0.1:10000/info from your browser or by using the curl.

Running using the Docker:

Please look at the Running on Docker section

Running using Kubernetes(K8s):

Please look at the Running on Kubernetes section

/info Endpoint output:

{"Endpoint":"/info","Host":"127.0.0.1:10000","Method":"GET","RemoteIP":"127.0.0.1:60942","Version":"1.0.0"}

Curl Example:

$ curl 127.0.0.1:10000/info
{"Endpoint":"/info","Host":"127.0.0.1:10000","Method":"GET","RemoteIP":"127.0.0.1:60942","Version":"1.0.0"}

/health-check endpoint:

This /health-check route, Returns healthy:true if server is running fine. So we can see the status of the server by monitoring this route. This can be used with the Kubernetes Readiness and Liveness probes. We can also add custom delay by setting the HEALTHDELAY environment variable.

$ curl 127.0.0.1:10000/health-check
{"healthy":true}

/env endpoint:

This /env route dumps the all environment variables

$ curl 127.0.0.1:10000/env
{"Version":"1.0.0","env":"CLUTTER_IM_MODULE=xim, LS_COLORS=rs=0:di=01;34:ln=01;36:mh=00:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=40;31;01:mi=00:su=37;41:sg=30;43:ca=30;41:tw=30;42:ow=34;42:st=37;44:ex=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.arc=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lha=01;31:*.lz4=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.lzma=01;31:*.tlz=01;31:*.txz=01;31:*.
...

/quote endpoint:

This /quote route will generate random quote. We use the quotes.json file, which contains the list of quotes with author names. You can pass your own json quotes file to override the quotes.

$ curl 127.0.0.1:10000/quote
{"Quote":"If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it. - Muhammad Ali","Version":"1.0.0"}
$ curl 127.0.0.1:10000/quote
{"Quote":"Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand. - Martin Fowler","Version":"1.0.0"}
$ curl 127.0.0.1:10000/quote
{"Quote":"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. - Socrates","Version":"1.0.0"}

Changing the Port Number:

We can change the Port number where API server is running by setting the PORT environment variable.

By default server runs on 10000 Port.

$ go run main.go 
2022/08/01 12:14:18 Simple API Server(1.0.0) running on 0.0.0.0:10000

Set the PORT Environment variable and run the go run. If you are in Linux set using the export command.

$ export PORT="32000"
$ go run main.go 
2022/08/01 12:18:19 Simple API Server(1.0.0) running on 0.0.0.0:32000

We can see the PORT is changed.

Health-check Delayed response:

We can delay the /health-check endpoint response by setting the HEALTHDELAY Environment variable.

$ export HEALTHDELAY="5"

Re-run the app

$ go run main.go 
2022/08/01 12:21:59 Simple API Server(1.0.0) running on 0.0.0.0:10000
2022/08/01 12:22:06 Entering /health-check endpoint, Invoked from 127.0.0.1:36984
2022/08/01 12:22:11 Added 5 seconds delay, Serving Requst Now

$ curl 127.0.0.1:10000/health-check
{"healthy":true}

Note that the response is served after 5 seconds at 00:43:53

Passing your own Quotes(quotes.json) file:

You can change the source Quotes fine by setting the QUOTESFILE environment variable. Please look at the following example.

$ cp quotes.json test.json
$ export QUOTESFILE="./test.json" 
$ go run main.go 
2022/08/01 12:36:38 Simple API Server(1.0.0) running on 0.0.0.0:10000
2022/08/01 12:36:50 Entered /quote endpoint, Invoked from 127.0.0.1:45226 , using ./test.json as QuotesSource
2022/08/01 12:36:50 The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. - Socrates

$ curl 127.0.0.1:10000/quote
{"Quote":"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. - Socrates","Version":"1.0.0"}


$ unset QUOTESFILE 
$ go run main.go 
2022/08/01 12:39:15 Simple API Server(1.0.0) running on 0.0.0.0:10000
2022/08/01 12:39:20 Entered /quote endpoint, Invoked from 127.0.0.1:46610 , using ./quotes.json as QuotesSource
2022/08/01 12:39:20 If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it. - Muhammad Ali

$ curl 127.0.0.1:10000/quote
{"Quote":"If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it. - Muhammad Ali","Version":"1.0.0"}

Here I have added a test.json file on the same folder, So I have used relative Path. Please make sure to specify the correct path for file (or use the Absolute path)

Running on Docker:

You can create the docker container using the docker run like below.

$ docker run -d -p 10000:10000 davarski/go-rest-api-demo
26b56788f3cf4521e64d19fbe1a6cd480e4a52012a0130b05e928f86b86654da

By default server listens on 10000 Port on all Interfaces (0.0.0.0) of node. We have exposed the port 10000 to the host system. So that I can test with curl or any other app.

Changing the runtime behavior on Docker:

Changing the Port Number:

We can change the Port number where API server is running by setting the PORT environment variable. By default server runs on 10000 Port.

Here is an example to change the default port number using the docker environment variable. Use the -e option and pass the desired port number to PORT environment variable.

$ docker run -d -e PORT='32000' -p 32000:32000 davarski/go-rest-api-demo
b9dbfdda77dfd365ae6ff71a8117c8d29669e81620af281efdcec227976f142a

You can check the logs to see where the server is listening.

$ docker logs 51b5ce01e53f
2022/08/01 09:44:53 Simple API Server(1.0.0) running on 0.0.0.0:32000

Here it is listening on 0.0.0.0:32000

Make a call to any of the API endpoint or route.

$ curl 127.0.0.1:32000/quote
{"Quote":"The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it. - Dennis Ritchie","Version":"1.0.0"}

Health-check Delayed response:

We can delay the /health-check endpoint response by setting the HEALTHDELAY Environment variable. The configurable health-check API is useful to test the Readiness and Liveness Probes of K8s

Here I am setting the 5 Seconds delay by passing the 5 to HEALTHDELAY env.

$ docker run -d -e HEALTHDELAY='5' -p 10000:10000 davarski/go-rest-api-demo
bcbcd1e06093c82e5a8a62ee01df8fa4f0f6048f8e0c535d726e9b8385c07b78

Now try to access the /health-check API. and you will get the delayed response ( You are response delayed by 5 seconds).

$ curl 127.0.0.1:10000/health-check
{"healthy":true}

We can also verify the delay by looking into the docker container logs.

$ docker logs bcbcd1e06093
2022/08/01 09:47:43 Simple API Server(1.0.0) running on 0.0.0.0:10000
2022/08/01 09:48:18 Entering /health-check endpoint, Invoked from 10.30.0.1:48810
2022/08/01 09:48:23 Added 5 seconds delay, Serving Requst Now

We can see the request was received at 18:40:08 and we delayed it by 5 seconds and served the request at 18:40:13.

Let's create the Go microservice using the kubectl create command, You can also use the kubectl apply command,

$ kubectl apply -f loadbalancer-qotd.yaml 
deployment.apps/rest created
service/rest created

let's check if the pod is created using the kubectl get pods

$ kubectl get all
