HTTP

A http server built in Go that's capable of handling GET/POST requests, serving files, gzip compression and handling multiple concurrent connections.

Makefile

To simplify the build and run process, you can use the following Makefile commands:

make all - test and build the application

make build - build the application and output the executable into /dist

make run - build and run the application

make fmt - format the codebase with go fmt

make test - run the unit tests

Docker

To build and run the HTTP server using Docker, you can use the following commands:

make docker-build - build the docker image

make docker-run - run the image exposed on port 8080
