Go Backend API Service

This is a minimal Go backend API service, built as a learning project and demonstration. It's based on the principles outlined in the Google Cloud Run quickstart guide for Go services: https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/quickstarts/build-and-deploy/deploy-go-service

Description

This project demonstrates a simple API server written in Go. It's designed to be easily deployable and provides a basic framework for building more complex API services. The goal of this project is to provide a minimal service, so that the steps to create and run a simple service can be understood.

How to Run

Automatic Startup

When you start a workspace (e.g., using a development environment like Gitpod or a similar service), the server should automatically start running.

Manual Startup

If you need to run the server manually, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the project directory: cd <your-project-directory>
2. Run the server: go run main.go

This will start the server, and you can then access the API endpoints.
