Overview ¶
Package main/cmd is the entry point for the URL shortener service application. This service provides an HTTP server that handles requests for creating, retrieving, and editing shortened URLs. It uses the Gin web framework for routing and handling HTTP requests, zap for structured logging, and Google Cloud Datastore for storage of URL mappings.
The main function initializes the necessary components such as the logger, the Datastore client, and the HTTP router. It also sets up the HTTP server and starts listening for incoming requests. The application's configuration is driven by environment variables, including the Datastore project ID and the desired port for the HTTP server.
The service supports a RESTful API for managing URLs and includes middleware for request logging. The application is designed to be deployed as a containerized service, and it is capable of being scaled horizontally to handle high loads.
