An example multi-purpose go microservice
I think I need a bit of a break from dynamically typed scripting langauges. I've enjoyed playing with go quite a bit and it appears to fit well as a tool in the world of distributed systems programming that I appear to be in the thick of right now. It offers a great api for concurrent programming and decent static typing without being object oriented. Plus it has a great mascot :)
Investigate implementation of multiple features that would be required of a production grade microservice while leveraging golangs strong concurrency api
- Receive http requests
- Receive work from a queue
- Persistent storage of some kind
- Caching mechanism
- Dockerized
- Environmentaly configurable
- Produce structured log output
- Dependancy injection
- Unit and integration test configuration
- CI/CD configuration
