cf-go-helloworld

Introduction

This is a skeleton application to demonstrate a basic Golang application suitable for deployment on the cloud.gov.au CloudFoundry environment that:

1. Uses a Postgresql database.
2. Uses a vendor directory.
3. Uses CircleCI with push-to-deploy.

This is very much a work-in-progress.

Pre-work

Create the database:

cf create-service postgres shared go-helloworld-db

Update manifest.yml to include a reference to our database service:

  services:
  - go-helloworld-db

Sync govendor dependencies:

govendor sync

Push it (recommended to use the Blue/Green deployer plugin for CF):

cf blue-green-deploy go-helloworld

(or, if you prefer downtime: cf push)
