Seeking advice on implementing a tinyurl-like service using Go and gRPC.

• grpc-gateway

  30 17,367 9.8 Go

  gRPC to JSON proxy generator following the gRPC HTTP spec

  

I wonder if they would be happy with something like this: https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway

• go-grpc-middleware

  Golang gRPC Middlewares: interceptor chaining, auth, logging, retries and more.

  

Hello, Those interviews are even crazy for internship. Anyway 1. Try to find a simple CRUD example online. You can check [this](https://tutorialedge.net/golang/go-grpc-beginners-tutorial/) 2. For logging you can check [go-grpc-middleware](https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/go-grpc-middleware) 3. You can grpc-gateway in case they want some REST endpoints too 4. Use base62 to encode your url. So at least 2 columns in your table **shortenedUrl** and **url** 5. For such a project no need to use an ORM ( it's not advised anyway ). Implement 2 functions, one to insert into the db and the other one to read from the db. Remember to use transaction though 5. For unit tests go with the standard library and mock the 2 functions ( erroneous and valid cases )

• protoc-gen-gorm

  1 19 7.6 Go

  Generate GORM v2 Models and APIs from your .proto files.

2: You can use gorm to save time and can also use protobuf plugin to make your life easier. I like https://github.com/complex64/protoc-gen-gorm it does not support relations yet but I guess you only need one table. ORM is not recommended but working with protobuffers you can save a lot of time with auto generation. if not ORM, u/jloking post makes more sense.
