StringService - A Go kit Learning Project

Introduction

This project is a refactored version of the "stringsvc" example from the Go kit tutorial. The original tutorial can be found at https://gokit.io/examples/stringsvc.html.

The primary purpose of this project is to serve as a learning resource for those interested in:

1. Understanding Go kit's architecture and components
2. Implementing microservices using Go kit
3. Structuring a Go project following standard practices

Getting Started

To run the service locally:

1. Clone the repository
2. Navigate to the project root
3. Run go mod tidy to download dependencies
4. Start the server with go run cmd/server/main.go

The service will be available at http://localhost:8080.

Testing the Service

You can test the service using curl:

curl -XPOST -d'{"s":"hello, world"}' localhost:8080/uppercase
curl -XPOST -d'{"s":"hello, world"}' localhost:8080/count
