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
- Healthcheck route
- No global state
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
