Go HTTP Server with Worker

This project demonstrates a simple Go HTTP server that receives JSON requests and processes them asynchronously using a worker goroutine. Each request is converted to a different format and sent to a webhook.

How it works

The Go HTTP server listens for incoming requests on port 8080. When a request is received, it decodes the JSON body into a struct, processes it asynchronously, and responds with an acknowledgment message.

The worker goroutine converts each incoming request into a different format, following the provided specifications. It then sends the converted request to a predefined webhook URL.

Instructions to run

1. Install Go: Make sure you have Go installed on your system. If not, download and install it from the official website.

2. Clone the repository: Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/YashTripathi01/customerlabs-interview.git

3. Navigate to project directory: Change directory to the project directory:

   cd customerlabs-interview

4. Run the server: Execute the following command to run the Go program:

   go run main.go

5. Access the server: Use an HTTP client like Postman or Insomnia to send JSON requests to the server endpoint and trigger the processing

6. Send requests: Send JSON requests to the server endpoint (e.g., using cURL or Postman) to trigger the processing.

7. Check output: The processed requests will be printed in the terminal where you ran the Go program.

Dependencies

This project uses only standard Go packages and does not require any additional dependencies.
