Cloud Native Application Development is a one way of speeding up building web applications, using micro-services, containers and orchestration tools.

As the first step, this repository shows How to build a Dockerized RESTful API application using Go.

💡 Refer learning-cloud-native-go.github.io or commit messages and step- branches for a step by step guild.

• Usage of Docker and Docker Compose.
• Usage of Golang and MySQL Alpine images.
• Usage of Docker Multistage builds.
• Liveness and Readiness APIs for K8s.
• Usage of Goose for Migrations.
• Usage of GORM as the ORM.
• Usage of Chi as the Router.
• Usage of Zerolog as the Logger.
• Usage of Validator.v10 as the Form Validator.

💭 Hope to use Wire for Compile-time Dependency Injection in the future.

• DB: 229MB
• App
  • Development environment: 728MB
  • Production environment: 21.8MB

💡 Building Docker image for production docker build -f docker/app/prod.Dockerfile . -t myapp_app

• Store Docker related files inside the docker folder. But keep the docker-compose.yml file in the project root.
• Store executable packages inside the cmd folder.
• Store database migrations inside the migrations folder.
• Store main application code inside the app folder.
• Store reusable packages like configs, utils, models and repositories in separate folders. This will be helpful if you are adding more executable applications to support web front-ends, publish/subscribe systems, document stores and etc.
