Go-HTTP-Starter

This is a simple starter setup for a Golang HTTP Server application. Besides a sample setup for a HTTP Server, this starter enables the use of PostgreSQL with migrations too.

Getting started

Run the Server using go run . or build the server using go build. Besides that, you can build a docker container using the Dockerfile in this repository.

Add HTTP Endpoints

To add HTTP Endpoints to the server, you can register a new HTTP handler in the registerRoutes() function. Take the healthHandler as a starting point.

Add migrations

To add Database Migrations, you have to add a migration SQL file, that follows the scheme <number>_description.up.sql.
Migrations are automatically applied to the Database Server on the server startup.
