go-lang-cms-capstone

This is the capstone project for my Golang nanodegree. It is a mock CMS backend that essentially consists of a CRUD API. I also took the liberty of setting up a circle CI CI/CD pipeline that consists of setting up and EC2 instance, installing the code and doing a quick smoke test to ensure the application is up.

Installation

There should be two ways to run this project

1. clone this repo into your go folder and run go run main.go in the base directory
2. clone this repo into your go folder and run go build main.go in the base directory then run ./main

Then you should be able to access the API's home page by going to localhost:3000, the home page will describe the endpoints and how to use them

Dependencies

• You must have go installed
• github.com/gorilla/mux v1.8.0 (should be installed automatically when running go run)
