This readme is just a snippet that I've created and I will finish it latter.
This project implements a RESTful API using Go (Golang) as the backend language, PostgreSQL as the database, and Docker for containerization.

This RESTful API project provides a scalable and maintainable backend service. It uses Go for its performance and concurrency capabilities, PostgreSQL for robust database operations, and Docker for easy deployment and containerization.
- Backend Language: Golang
- Database: PostgreSQL
- Containerization: Docker
To run the project locally:
-
Clone the repository:
-
Build the Docker image:
-
Run the Docker container:
Your API should now be accessible at http://localhost:8080.
The API currently supports the following endpoints:
- GET /users: Retrieve all users
- POST /users: Create a new user
- GET /users/{id}: Get a specific user by ID
- PUT /users/{id}: Update a user
- DELETE /users/{id}: Delete a user
Detailed documentation for each endpoint can be found in the api
package.
The database schema is defined in the migrations
folder. It includes tables for users and potentially other entities as the project grows.
Docker configuration files are located in the docker
folder. They define the environment for both development and production setups.
The project follows a clean architecture pattern:
cmd
: Contains the main application entry pointinternal
: Houses internal packages and logicapp
: Application-specific business logicdomain
: Domain models and interfacesinfrastructure
: External dependencies (database, etc.)interfaces
: API handlers and middleware
pkg
: Reusable packages across multiple projectstests
: Unit tests and integration tests
Unit tests are implemented using Go's built-in testing package. Integration tests are also included to verify the functionality of the API endpoints.

The project is designed to be easily deployable using Docker. For production deployment, consider using orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
