Go Cobra

Building a Dispatching Server using Golang programming language and Golang Cobra package with tls license and Sqlite database. The main idea of this project is to learn Cobra package and working with tls license.

In this application you can create a task then you can run it or change it or delete it. You can also see the list of the tasks and their status.

What do you learn from this project?

• Golang Cobra
• TLS certification
• Sqlite

What is Cobra?

Cobra is a powerful library and tool in Golang that is used to create CLI (Command-Line Interface) applications. Cobra does this by providing tools that automate the process and provide key abstractions that increase developer productivity.

TLS certification

Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates—most commonly known as SSL, or digital certificates—are the foundation of a safe and secure internet.

TLS/SSL certificates secure internet connections by encrypting data sent between your browser, the website you’re visiting, and the website server. They ensure that data is transmitted privately and without modifications, loss or theft.
