REST API Server example

Ladies and gentlemen, once upon a time I asked a candidate for Golang Junior Developer position to create a simple Golang REST API server doing something useful (anything useful).

I won't show his code here :) But as a result I realized I don't have my answer to this question :) So, here it is!

This is Golang REST API server example including the following features:

• based on high performance, extensible, minimalist Go web framework - Echo - https://echo.labstack.com
• made with Clean Architecture in mind (controller -> service -> repository)
• has services that work with both PostgreSQL/MySQL database (user/file metadata CRUD) and Google Cloud Storage (file upload/download)
• includes service & controller go tests based on database mocks auto-generated with go:generate and mockery (https://github.com/vektra/mockery)
• Postman tests included aswell
• config based on envconfig (https://github.com/kelseyhightower/envconfig)
• made relatively fast :) but with ❤ :)
