🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Docker & Docker Compose (recommended) OR
• Go 1.24.3+ and PostgreSQL 13+ (for standalone)
• Git for cloning the repository

📦 Running with Docker (Recommended)

The easiest way to run CarZone is using Docker Compose, which automatically sets up all services:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/PrateekKumar15/CarZone.git
cd CarZone

# Start all services (API + Database + Monitoring)
docker-compose up -d

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f app

# Stop all services
docker-compose down

# Stop and remove all data (including database)
docker-compose down -v

What each service does:

• app (Port 8080): Main CarZone API server
• db (Port 5432): PostgreSQL database
• jaeger (Port 16686): Distributed tracing UI
• prometheus (Port 9090): Metrics collection
• grafana (Port 3300): Monitoring dashboards (admin/admin)

Access the application:

• API: http://localhost:8080
• Jaeger UI: http://localhost:16686
• Prometheus: http://localhost:9090
• Grafana: http://localhost:3300

🔧 Running with Go Only (Development)

For development or when you prefer to run Go directly:

1. Setup Database

# Install PostgreSQL 13+ and create database
createdb carzone_db
createuser carzone_user

2. Configure Environment

# Copy environment template
cp .env.example .env

# Edit .env file with your database credentials
# Required variables:
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_USER=carzone_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_password
DB_NAME=carzone_db
SECRET_KEY=your_jwt_secret_key
RAZORPAY_KEY_ID=your_razorpay_key
RAZORPAY_KEY_SECRET=your_razorpay_secret

3. Install Dependencies and Run

# Download Go dependencies
go mod download

# Run database migrations (if any)
# The app will auto-create tables on first run

# Build the application
go build -o main

# Run the server
./main

# OR run directly without building
go run main.go

The API will be available at http://localhost:8080

HTTP Metrics:

• api_requests_total - Total API requests by method, path, status
• api_request_duration_seconds - Request latency histogram
• api_requests_in_flight - Currently processing requests

Business Metrics:

• bookings_total - Total bookings by status
• bookings_revenue_total - Total revenue from bookings
• cars_available_total - Currently available cars
• users_registered_total - Total registered users
• payments_total - Total payments by status

Database Metrics:

• database_connections_active - Active DB connections
• database_connections_idle - Idle DB connections
• database_queries_total - Total queries executed
• database_query_duration_seconds - Query execution time

Jaeger Distributed Tracing

� Docker Deployment

Quick Start with Docker Compose

The easiest way to run CarZone is using Docker Compose, which sets up the entire stack:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/PrateekKumar15/CarZone.git
cd CarZone

# Start all services
docker-compose up --build -d

This will start:

• CarZone API on port 8080
• PostgreSQL Database on port 5432
• Prometheus on port 9090
• Jaeger UI on port 16686

Project Structure Guidelines

Adding New Features

1. Define Domain Model

   // models/feature.go
   type Feature struct {
       ID          string    `json:"id" db:"id"`
       Name        string    `json:"name" db:"name" validate:"required"`
       CreatedAt   time.Time `json:"created_at" db:"created_at"`
   }
   

2. Create Store Interface

   // store/interface.go
   type FeatureStore interface {
       GetByID(ctx context.Context, id string) (*models.Feature, error)
       Create(ctx context.Context, feature *models.Feature) error
   }
   

3. Implement Store

   // store/feature/feature.go
   func (s *store) GetByID(ctx context.Context, id string) (*models.Feature, error) {
       // Implementation
   }
   

4. Create Service Interface

   // service/interface.go
   type FeatureService interface {
       GetFeature(ctx context.Context, id string) (*models.Feature, error)
   }
   

5. Implement Service

   // service/feature/feature.go
   func (s *service) GetFeature(ctx context.Context, id string) (*models.Feature, error) {
       // Business logic
   }
   

6. Create Handler

   // handler/feature/feature.go
   func (h *Handler) GetFeature(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
       // HTTP handling
   }
   

Code Style Guidelines

Go Code Standards

// ✅ Good: Clear naming and structure
func (s *carService) GetCarsByBrand(ctx context.Context, brand string) ([]*models.Car, error) {
    if brand == "" {
        return nil, errors.New("brand cannot be empty")
    }

    cars, err := s.store.GetCarsByBrand(ctx, brand)
    if err != nil {
        s.logger.Error("failed to get cars", "error", err, "brand", brand)
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to get cars: %w", err)
    }

    return cars, nil
}

// ❌ Avoid: Unclear naming and poor error handling
func (s *carService) GetCars(brand string) []*models.Car {
    cars, _ := s.store.GetCarsByBrand(context.Background(), brand)
    return cars
}

Error Handling Pattern

func (h *Handler) CreateCar(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    var car models.Car
    if err := json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&car); err != nil {
        http.Error(w, "Invalid JSON", http.StatusBadRequest)
        return
    }

    if err := car.Validate(); err != nil {
        http.Error(w, fmt.Sprintf("Validation error: %v", err), http.StatusBadRequest)
        return
    }

    if err := h.service.CreateCar(r.Context(), &car); err != nil {
        h.logger.Error("failed to create car", "error", err)
        http.Error(w, "Internal server error", http.StatusInternalServerError)
        return
    }

    w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
    w.WriteHeader(http.StatusCreated)
    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(car)
}

Testing Strategy

Unit Tests

// service/car/car_test.go
func TestCarService_GetCarsByBrand(t *testing.T) {
    mockStore := &mocks.MockCarStore{}
    service := NewService(mockStore)

    expectedCars := []*models.Car{
        {ID: "1", Brand: "Tesla", Name: "Model S"},
    }

    mockStore.On("GetCarsByBrand", mock.Anything, "Tesla").Return(expectedCars, nil)

    cars, err := service.GetCarsByBrand(context.Background(), "Tesla")

    assert.NoError(t, err)
    assert.Len(t, cars, 1)
    assert.Equal(t, "Tesla", cars[0].Brand)
    mockStore.AssertExpectations(t)
}

Integration Tests

// tests/integration/car_test.go
func TestCarAPI_Integration(t *testing.T) {
    // Setup test database
    db := setupTestDB(t)
    defer db.Close()

    // Create test server
    server := setupTestServer(db)

    // Test car creation
    payload := `{"name":"Test Car","brand":"Tesla","year":"2024"}`
    resp := httptest.NewRecorder()
    req := httptest.NewRequest("POST", "/cars", strings.NewReader(payload))

    server.ServeHTTP(resp, req)

    assert.Equal(t, http.StatusCreated, resp.Code)
}

Database Migrations

Schema Evolution

1. Create Migration File

   -- migrations/001_add_user_table.sql
   CREATE TABLE users (
       id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
       email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
       password_hash VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
       created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
   );
   

2. Apply Migration

   # Apply all pending migrations
   psql -U carzone_user -d carzone_db -f migrations/001_add_user_table.sql
   

Performance Optimization

Database Optimization

-- Add indexes for frequently queried columns
CREATE INDEX idx_cars_brand ON car(brand);
CREATE INDEX idx_cars_year ON car(year);
CREATE INDEX idx_cars_price ON car(price);

-- Analyze query performance
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM car WHERE brand = 'Tesla';

Connection Pool Tuning

// driver/postgres.go
func NewPostgresDB(config Config) (*sql.DB, error) {
    db, err := sql.Open("postgres", config.DatabaseURL)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    // Optimize connection pool
    db.SetMaxOpenConns(25)
    db.SetMaxIdleConns(10)
    db.SetConnMaxLifetime(5 * time.Minute)

    return db, nil
}

📊 Monitoring & Observability

Prometheus Metrics

CarZone exposes custom business metrics:

Available Metrics

Metric	Type	Description
carzone_http_requests_total	Counter	Total HTTP requests
carzone_http_request_duration_seconds	Histogram	HTTP request duration
carzone_cars_total	Gauge	Total number of cars
carzone_database_connections	Gauge	Active database connections
carzone_errors_total	Counter	Total application errors

Custom Metrics Implementation

// middleware/metrics_middleware.go
var (
    httpRequestsTotal = prometheus.NewCounterVec(
        prometheus.CounterOpts{
            Name: "carzone_http_requests_total",
            Help: "Total number of HTTP requests",
        },
        []string{"method", "endpoint", "status"},
    )

    httpRequestDuration = prometheus.NewHistogramVec(
        prometheus.HistogramOpts{
            Name: "carzone_http_request_duration_seconds",
            Help: "HTTP request duration in seconds",
        },
        []string{"method", "endpoint"},
    )
)

Jaeger Distributed Tracing

Trace Context Propagation

func (s *carService) GetCarsByBrand(ctx context.Context, brand string) ([]*models.Car, error) {
    // Start a new span
    span, ctx := opentracing.StartSpanFromContext(ctx, "car.service.GetCarsByBrand")
    defer span.Finish()

    // Add tags for better observability
    span.SetTag("car.brand", brand)

    cars, err := s.store.GetCarsByBrand(ctx, brand)
    if err != nil {
        span.SetTag("error", true)
        span.LogFields(log.Error(err))
        return nil, err
    }

    span.SetTag("cars.count", len(cars))
    return cars, nil
}

Health Checks

Comprehensive Health Monitoring

// handler/health.go

    health := HealthResponse{
        Status:    "healthy",
        Timestamp: time.Now(),
        Version:   "1.0.0",
    }

    // Check database connectivity
    if err := h.db.Ping(); err != nil {
        health.Status = "unhealthy"
        health.Database = "disconnected"
    } else {
        health.Database = "connected"
    }

        "jaeger":     h.checkJaeger(),
    }

    statusCode := http.StatusOK
    if health.Status == "unhealthy" {
        statusCode = http.StatusServiceUnavailable
    }

    w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
    w.WriteHeader(statusCode)
    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(health)
}

        User:     "test_user",
        Password: "test_pass",
        Database: "carzone_test",
    }

    db, err := sql.Open("postgres", config.ConnectionString())
    require.NoError(t, err)

    // Run migrations
    err = runMigrations(db)
    require.NoError(t, err)

    return db
}

func CleanupTestDatabase(t *testing.T, db *sql.DB) {
    _, err := db.Exec("TRUNCATE car, engine CASCADE")
    require.NoError(t, err)
