How to build a Dockerized RESTful API application using Go.

Overview

Cloud Native Application Development is revolutionizing the way we build web applications, and Learning Cloud Native Go provides a hands-on guide to creating a Dockerized RESTful API application using Go. This project features a simple bookshelf application, showcasing the power of microservices and containerization through well-structured code and best practices. With the integration of clean design patterns and modern tools, developers can streamline their application development process while maintaining high performance.

The repository emphasizes an idiomatic structure, ensuring that developers can efficiently implement CRUD operations while adhering to OpenAPI specifications. By leveraging Docker, Goose for database migrations, and various other tools, this project simplifies the complexities often associated with cloud-native development.

Features

  • Idiomatic Structure: Built on a resource-oriented design, making it intuitive and easy to understand for developers familiar with Go.
  • Docker Integration: Seamlessly utilizes Docker and Docker Compose, promoting containerization for easier deployment and scalability.
  • Healthcheck Endpoints: Includes a /livez endpoint to monitor the health of your application, ensuring reliability in production.
  • Comprehensive CRUD API: Provides complete CRUD functionality for managing books, with structured HTTP methods and routes for easy access.
  • Database Management: Employs GORM as the ORM and Goose for handling database migrations, facilitating smooth data management.
  • Robust Logging: Implements Zerolog for centralized logging, aiding in monitoring and debugging efforts.
  • Form Validation: Utilizes Validator.v10 for input validation, enhancing the security and reliability of the API.
  • CI/CD Automation: Integrates GitHub Actions to automate testing, linting, and building production images, streamlining the development workflow.
