This repo contains Golang code that does not follow best practises, contains bugs and security issues. It is intended to be used as an interview exercise or a practise exercise for jr/mid-level Go engineers.
This repo contains, technically, a functional golang application that receives a request to create a user and stores it into a postgres Database.
As an exercise, you could try identifying and correcting some of the issues in this repo. This would work particularly well as a pair programming exercise.
You can get the database started by running docker-compose up
Once running the Go app, you can make a CURL request as follows:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username":"john", "password":"secret"}' http://localhost:8080/user
you can find the solutions here
