This template demonstrates building the Gin framework for Platform.sh using Go modules. It includes a minimalist application skeleton that demonstrates how to connect to a MariaDB server for data storage. It is intended for you to use as a starting point and modify for your own needs.
Gin is a lightweight web framework written in Go that emphasizes performance.
- Go 1.14
- MariaDB 10.4
- Git module-based build
This project relies on Go module support in Go 1.11 and later. You should commit your go.mod and go.sum files to Git, but not the vendor directory.
The following files and additions make the framework work. If using this project as a reference for your own existing project, replicate the changes below to your project.
- The
.platform.app.yaml,.platform/services.yaml, and.platform/routes.yamlfiles have been added. These provide Platform.sh-specific configuration and are present in all projects on Platform.sh. You may customize them as you see fit. - An additional Go module,
platformsh/config-reader-go, has been added. It provides convenience wrappers for accessing the Platform.sh environment variables.
