Overview

This project exists to support other microservices written in Go. The project name is horrible, and will almost certainly change. Here is a breakdown of the current folder structure:

• database - lightweight support for MSSQL [todo: rename/refactor to call out being mssql specific to support other RDBMS and nosql systems (postgres, bbolt, etc)]
• encryption - support for encrypted values. Expects the appropriate .x509 cert and file with the password to be found at the path /secrets/internal-encryption-certificate/
• environment - simple support for working with multiple environment files such as .Dev.env and .Prod.env
• errors - basic, reusable error definitions with the intent of capturing issues in processing data in a non-implementation specific way [not currently implemented in consuming microservice, but will be]
• grpc - interceptors for easily and consistently adding cross-cutting functionality such as logging, tracing, and security within gRPC implementations
• logging - basic, lightweight, simple support for integrating zap logging into splunk
• proto - various useful bits for supporting protobuf
  • third_party - collection of common & useful .proto definitions. Meant to simplify build definitions
  • typehelpers - useful functions for translating to and from google's well-known types [WKTs]

Upcoming/Planned functionality

• support for more database systems
• extend out grpc interceptors
• some sort of eventing support (possibly with abstraction?) likely RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus, nats.io
• centralized healthcheck/monitoring .proto definition?
• common bits to support rate limiting
