Ship a Production Go Microservice
Package a real service with structured logging, health checks, configuration, and a minimal multi-stage container image.
Prerequisites: Build a REST API in Go, Working with Go Modules and Testing, and Profiling and Performance Tuning.
Version note: verified against current docs as of July 2026, targeting the common Go 1.25/1.26 feature set.
Everything up to this point has produced code that works on your machine; this project closes the gap to something you'd actually deploy — structured JSON logs an aggregator can parse, a /healthz endpoint an orchestrator can poll, configuration from environment variables instead of hardcoded values, and a container image small enough to ship quickly and with a minimal attack surface.
