HTTP Client-Server example

An HTTP server and client instrumented to send traces to Google Cloud Trace.

In order to run this example, you'll need to

1. Create a GCP project
2. Enable billing
3. Enable the Cloud Trace API
4. Obtain authentication credentials
   • If you run the code on GCE/GKE/Cloud Run, it will receive the necessary authentication credentials automatically.
   • If you run in Cloud Shell or outside of GCP, you'll need to have it authenticate as a service account.
5. In one terminal, run the server

   $ go run ./server
   

6. In another terminal on the same host, run the client

   $ go run ./client
   

7. Open Google Cloud Trace and examine the trace that was recorded.
