ChatService

ChatService is a Golang project that provides an interactive chat service based on ChatGPT using Open AI's API. All user conversations are stored and managed in a MySQL database, allowing for easy data analysis and monitoring. The architecture follows clean architecture principles, separating the layers for easy maintenance and evolution. The service can be accessed through HTTP or gRPC (stream), and Docker is used for easy installation and execution.

Running the Application

Make a copy of the env.example file named .env inside the chatservice folder. Enter your OpenAI API Key in OPENAI_API_KEY inside the .env file. You can get an OpenAI API Key by clicking here.

Clone the project

# Clone this repository
git clone git@github.com:andre-ols/chatservice.git

# Access the project folder
cd chatservice

# Copy the env.example file to .env
cp env.example .env

Using Docker

docker compose up -d

If you choose to run the chatservice microservice using Docker, make sure to change the value of DB_HOST to DB_HOST=mysql inside your .env file

Running locally

go run cmd/chatservice/main.go

If you choose to run the chatservice microservice locally, make sure to change the value of DB_HOST to DB_HOST=localhost inside your .env file

migrate

On the first run it will be necessary to apply the migrate to create the tables in the MySQL database, through the Makefile.

make migrate

When doing make migrate make sure that the MySQL connection string inside the Makefile points to mysql:3306 when the chatservice is running in Docker, or localhost:3306 when the chatservice is running locally.

Additional information

On Windows, use the Ubuntu terminal with WSL 2 to run the commands.
