Example Go Service

This is a Golang application which exposes a single HTTP endpoint /health that will return a HTTP 200 response containing a JSON body:

{
    "status": "UP"
}

I use this application as a sample app when experimenting with infrastructure and provisioning tools and processes.

Build and run the application

You will need Golang installed, this application was developed using 1.11.2. There's lots of good setup guides for whatever OS you're using e.g. (for Mac)[http://sourabhbajaj.com/mac-setup/Go/README.html]

Then just run:

go build
./example-go-service (omit the './' if you're on Windows)
