CI/CD Deployment of GoLang Server

This repository showcases the deployment of a GoLang server with continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) using GitHub Actions and AWS services. The server listens on port 8080 and responds with a "Hello, world!" message.

Structure

The repository contains the following key files:

Dockerfile: This file builds the Docker image for our application. It includes two stages, a builder stage for compiling the Go code into a binary, and a final stage for running the application.
go.mod: This is the Go module file that lists all the dependencies for our application.
main.go: This is the Go application file that contains the server logic.
main_test.go: This file contains the tests for the Go application.

The repository also contains two GitHub workflows in the .github/workflows/ directory:

go-lint-and-test-on-push.yml: This workflow runs whenever there's a push to any branch other than main. It lints and tests the Go code across different platforms and Go versions.
build-publish-deploy.yml: This workflow is triggered when a pull request is closed (merged) into the main branch. It builds a Docker image, pushes it to DockerHub, deploys the updated application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and runs a smoke test to ensure the application is functioning correctly.

Getting Started

To run the Go server locally, you'll need Docker installed on your machine. Use the following command to build and run the Docker image:

docker build -t ci-cd . 
docker run -p 8080:8080 ci-cd

Accessing the Server

You should now be able to access the server at localhost:8080 and see the "Hello, world!" message.
