This repository have the purpose of serve of guide through to our workshop about Microservices on Go.

This repository is divide by branches, each branch represent a final part of each sprint.

The application that will be created during the workshop is a one microservices of a more big project about counters. With this workshop we can offer a demostration of how you can create a simple microservice, using Go.

It is built using Gorilla mux, a powerful library to create APIs.

The final microservices will be fully functional, for that we use mongoDB to store the data, and Kafka for sharing events between our microservices and the others.

In this application we're using, of course, the standard library, but also some third party libraries as:

• For mongoDB: go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver
• For Kafka: github.com/segmentio/kafka-go
• For Logging: github.com/uber-go/zap

First of all you need a lenses key, it's totally free you only need to register on: https://lenses.io/downloads/lenses/ then they send you a message with a link, this link will have your necessary key.

You need to replace on the docker-compose.yml, {LENSE_ID} for your key and that's all.

$ docker-compose up -d

$ make build

$ make run

For testing the application we're using a tool that using go test underlying but put colors on it. For that you need to install before to run it:

GO111MODULE=off go get -u github.com/rakyll/gotest

And then you can run:

make test
