Go Bank 🏦

This application is primarily intended for exploring technical concepts. My goal is to experiment with different technologies, software architecture designs, and all the essential components involved in building a monolithic-based application in Golang.

Features ✨

• ✅ Building RESTful APIs using the Gin framework for handling HTTP requests
• ✅ Leveraging gRPC for efficient internal service-to-service communication
• ✅ Secure authentication using PASETO tokens and JWT
• ✅ Asynchronous task processing with Redis and Asynq for background processing
• ✅ Reliable database operations with PostgreSQL and pgx driver
• ✅ Type-safe database queries with SQLC
• ✅ Database migrations using golang-migrate
• ✅ Input validation using go-playground/validator
• ✅ Structured logging with zerolog
• ✅ Configuration management with Viper
• ✅ Testing with testify for assertions and gomock for mocking
• ✅ Containerized deployment with Docker and docker-compose
• ✅ Deploying to production environments using Kubernetes on AWS EKS
• ✅ Automatic SSL/TLS certificate management with cert-manager and Let's Encrypt
• ✅ CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
