gohttpserver

This is my boilerplate for a go HTTP server, designed to be a starting point template for new projects, with most things conveniently stubbed out and ready for simple and fast customization, with sane defaults.

Many ideas are taken from Mat Ryer's talk titled "How I Write HTTP Web Services after Eight Years" at GopherCon 2019, seen here:

Features

Basic logging middleware
Stub Authentication middleware
Helper functions for encoding/decoding json

Design Decisions

TLS is terminated somewhere else, like on a sidecar or reverse proxy.
logging: rs/zerolog
configuration: spf13/viper
mux/router: gorilla/mux
- thinking about switching to go-chi/chi which supports contexts and HandlerFunc-wrapping middleware
templating: TBD (suggestions welcome)
database: TBD (thinking about go-gorm/gorm)

TODO

Database Boilerplate
sync.Once example for precompiling templates
Bundling Static Assets Into Binary
Metrics Endpoint / Request Statistic Aggregation
