(Deprecated) A blog backend in Go.

go-blog-backend

go-blog-backend is a blog API written in Go.

This repo is intended to be a learning project. My blog runs on MDX files, so I don't need a backend.

Here's what I've done to the project so far:

1. I designed my API with OpenAPI.
2. I use PlanetScale as the MySQL Database as a Service.
3. I use no framework, no ORM.
4. I use Auth0 to authorize the API's users:

• I utilize Auth0's Actions to customize the Access Token: In the Login flow, I added the email and name fields to register the user as an author of the API.
• There are 2 roles: author and admin. author can only edit their posts. admin can edit all things.

1. I use Zap as the structured logger.
2. I use chi as the router.
3. I implemented a rate-limiting system with Redis, introduced by this blog post.
4. I use Heroku to deploy, with Heroku Redis.
