Example Go service for a Photo-Sharing App
Blog post from Stream
The text outlines the development of a mobile photo-sharing application using Stream APIs, focusing on backend service construction with Go and open-source libraries. The backend is designed to facilitate simple user interactions, such as uploading, liking, and following photos, utilizing a MySQL database schema for data tracking and management. The project also serves as a demonstration of best practices specific to Stream's API for activity feeds and social timelines, although it does not claim to adhere to broader industry standards in areas like authentication or error handling. The application employs the Gin framework for API endpoint development and combines GORM and gorp for database operations, while AWS S3 is used for image hosting. The app aims to minimize data processing on the client side by handling data aggregation and manipulation on the server, ensuring quick response times for mobile users. The text concludes by welcoming feedback on this open-source project through GitHub.
