A production-ready microservice using Go and a few lightweight libraries

Sean K Smith

Hey! I'm Sean. I really enjoy fiddling around with different little coding projects and learning about the craft of programming. I'm currently reading through Building Event-Driven Microservices by Adam Bellemare, and working on a side-project creating a reference microservice architecture to both help me learn and teach event-driven microservice design.

go-micro-example's Issues

Rename util.go to middleware.go

Rename the file util.go to middleware.go.

Implement golang-ci

Setup a github action for golang-ci to do some linting.

https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint

Refactor User / Password Stuff

There's some strange stuff going on with mapping PlainTextPassword and password, etc. It could be simplified, give it another pass.

Run Unit Tests on Merge

Create a github action for running unit tests before merging a pull request.

Consider json.NewDecoder Rather than render.Bind

We're using render.Bind for binding response bodies when, really, the core library could handle it in a similar number of lines of code. Consider removing the use of render.Bind.

Reduce Structuring

The service in general has an overabundance over "structure" for what is otherwise a simple project. See about consolidating.

Use http Status Codes

In a few places there are hard coded status codes (for example 400) rather than using the http package status codes. Find them and swap it out.

Creating Github Action for gosec

Create a github action executing gosec for checking the project before merging pull requests.
