Playground GO

A modern web server implementation in Go that demonstrates production-ready HTTP server concepts.

Overview

This project implements a robust HTTP server that:

• Listens on a configurable port
• Handles HTTP requests with a custom router
• Processes requests concurrently using goroutines
• Implements middleware for logging and request processing
• Provides graceful shutdown capabilities
• Uses structured logging
• Follows clean architecture principles

• Concurrent request handling using goroutines
• Graceful server shutdown
• Structured logging
• Middleware support for request processing
• Configuration management
• Clean architecture with separated concerns
• Static file serving
• Error handling and logging

Configuration

The server can be configured through environment variables:

• PORT: The port number to listen on (default: 7878)
• Additional configuration options can be added in the internal/config package

Error Handling

The server includes comprehensive error handling for:

• Server startup and shutdown
• Request processing
• Configuration loading
• Graceful shutdown with timeout
• Structured error logging
