stubsrv is a skeleton application in Go for building simple services.

• labstack/echo high performance, minimalist Go web framework
• BurntSushi/toml TOML config parser
• go-pg/pg PostgreSQL ORM for with focus on PostgreSQL features and performance
• prometheus/client_golang Prometheus instrumentation library for Go applications

• Testing: smartystreets/goconvey
• Vendoring: rancher/trash
• Static analyzer: staticcheck

This sample app was created as proof-of-concept template for new services. It uses proven packages and following Twelve-Factor App principles.

• make tools installs goconvey, trash and staticcheck into your GOPATH
• make fix runs go get .
• make vet runs go vet and staticcheck
• make fmt runs gofmt
• make deps runs trash for vendor.conf (don't forget to specify correct versions of libraries)
• make build or make rebuild builds or rebuilds your app
• make run runs app in verbose mode with default config.cfg
• make test or make test-short runs go test (with or without -test.short flag)
• make convey runs goconvey for testing and code coverage.

• Set correct database credentials in config.cfg
• run make run
• open browser at http://localhost:8080/sample-url and you will see bloated tables in your database :). Also you can check:
  • http://localhost:8080/debug/pprof/ standard /debug/pprof handler
  • http://localhost:8080/metrics url for Prometheus collector

• basic structure and code organization
• TOML configs
• standard log.Logger usage with two levels: debug & error
• working with PostgreSQL database
• working with labstack/echo
• working with metrics via Prometheus (labstack/echo metrics as middleware)
• working with tests via goconvey
• vendoring example via trash
