Go micro-service in ~30 minutes

This is a Go micro-service written from scratch.

It shows how to use net/http, and how to structure a Go project.

It relies on Go 1.11 Beta 2 and the upcoming "Go modules" (formerly known as "vgo") support.

Dependency injection is used to insert a logger instance into the handler.

You can also notice how the test is constructed in order to provide testing for the handler.

A Docker container is available, thanks to the Dockerfile. It shows how to construct such containers.

How to use

Because this project uses go modules, as long as you are using Go 1.11 Beta 2+ or Go 1.10 with vgo support, you should be ok.

Clone this anywhere in your computer and create a project in your editor. I'm using GoLand IDE in order to work on the project during the presentation as well as have support for go modules.

The bundled, self-signed, certificates are bound to either dev.localhost:8080 or docker.localhost:8080. I obviously do not recommend using these in production.

Presentation link

I created this as part of the presentation at GopherCon UK 18.

The link for the video will be updated here when the presentation is out.
