Application Overview

I've designed the code in this course to follow clean architecture principles.

We'll be building a layered app with 3 distinct layers:

The Transport Layer - responsible for handling incoming HTTP requests and passing them on to the relevant service functions.
The Service Layer - responsible for all the business logic in your application.
The Repository Layer - responsible for all the interactions with the database!

This ends up looking something like this:

Technologies Used:

Postgres
Docker + Docker-Compose
Go (This one was fairly obvious no?)
Postman - for testing our service manually with HTTP request.

Frameworks + Libraries Used

sqlx - for simplifying our interactions with the database
golang-migrate - for running our migrations on app startup
dgrijalva/jwt-go - for working with JWTs in our transport layer.
satori/go.uuid - for generating and working with UUIDs.
sirupsen/logrus - nicer logging.
stretchr/testify - For easier testing!

Prerequisites

This course is designed to help teach you one approach for building and structuring a production-ready REST API in Go. It's designed for people with some Go already, I wont be covering the basic syntax for Go, but mostly focused on higher-level topics.
