Gin is a lightweight web framework written in Go that emphasizes performance.

Services

• Go 1.13
• MariaDB 10.2

Customizations

This project relies on Go module support in Go 1.11 and later. You should commit your go.mod and go.sum files to Git, but not the vendor directory.

The following files and additions make the framework work. If using this project as a reference for your own existing project, replicate the changes below to your project.

• The .platform.app.yaml, .platform/services.yaml, and .platform/routes.yaml files have been added. These provide Platform.sh-specific configuration and are present in all projects on Platform.sh. You may customize them as you see fit.
• An additional Go module, platformsh/config-reader-go, has been added. It provides convenience wrappers for accessing the Platform.sh environment variables.
