Go API on EKS Logging with Logrus and Fluent Bit on AWS CloudWatch

This repository illustrates a simple Go microservice that allows a user to register, login, add and query books from their library. The API makes use of JWT to control authorization for the Add-a-book and List-books endpoints. All data in PostgreSQL database is persisted in a PostgreSQL container.
