  • Uploading and Serving Images from MongoDB in Golang
    3 projects | dev.to | 4 Jan 2024
    MongoDB, a document-oriented NoSQL database, will be our data powerhouse. We'll utilize the mongo-driver library to seamlessly connect our Golang application to MongoDB. This section will cover essential database interactions, including creating collections, storing metadata, and efficiently querying for image-related data. Understanding these fundamentals is crucial for building a robust image storage and retrieval system.

  • Go EventSourcing and CQRS microservice using EventStoreDB πŸ‘‹βš‘οΈπŸ’«
    12 projects | dev.to | 27 Feb 2022
    In this project we have microservice working with EventStoreDB using oficial go client, for [projections (https://zimarev.com/blog/event-sourcing/projections/) used MongoDB and Elasticsearch for search, and communicate by gRPC and REST. Did not implement here any interesting business logic and didn't cover tests, because don't have enough time, the events list is very simple: create a new order, update shopping cart, pay, submit, cancel, change the delivery address, complete order, and of course in real-world better use more concrete and meaningfully events, but the target here is to show the idea and how it works. Event Sourcing can be implemented in different ways, used here EventStoreDB, but we can do it with PostgreSQL and Kafka for example. After trying both approaches, found EventStoreDB is a better solution because all required features are implemented out of the box, it is optimized and really very good engineers developing it.

  • Using IAM authentication for Redis on AWS

  • Building RESTful API with Hexagonal Architecture in Go
    21 projects | dev.to | 27 Sep 2023
    For building the RESTful Point of Sale service API, I've considered and selected a combination of technologies that would work seamlessly together. For handling HTTP requests and responses, using the Gin HTTP web framework would make sense because I think it seems complete and popular among Go community too. To ensure data integrity and persistence, I'm using PostgreSQL database with pgx as the database driver, the reason I choose PostgreSQL because it is the most popular relational database to use in production and offers efficient Go integration. I'm also implementing caching using Redis with go-redis client library, which provides powerful in-memory data storage capabilities.
  • Authentication system using Golang and Sveltekit - Initialization and setup
    7 projects | dev.to | 2 Jun 2023
    Following the completion of the series β€” Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using rust (actix-web) and sveltekit and Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using Python (Django) and SvelteKit β€” I felt I should keep the streak by building an equivalent system in PURE go with very minimal external dependencies. We won't use any fancy web framework apart from httprouter and other basic dependencies including a database driver (pq), and redis client. As usual, we'll be using SvelteKit at the front end, favouring JSDoc instead of TypeScript. The combination is ecstatic!

  • Should I reuse the connection on Redis or close it after every use?
    2 projects | /r/golang | 21 Dec 2022
    Asynq uses https://github.com/go-redis/redis in order to connect to Redis. Whenever you create a client using go-redis, the client internally manages a connection pool, so when you need to execute a command in Redis the client just retrieves a connection from the pool and uses it. After using it, the connection is released and it goes back to the pool (no need to say that the Redis client is thread-safe).
