Datetime Server - Template

[xmonader]

Create a basic HTTP server that returns the current date and time. Implement this server using multiple web frameworks, add tests, and containerize the application using Docker and Docker Compose.

Requirements:

1. Server Functionality:

   • Endpoint: GET /datetime
   • Response: Current date and time

2. Implementations:

   • Implement the server using:
     a. Standard library (net/http)
     b. Gin

3. Testing:

   • Use Go's testing package and a HTTP testing library (e.g., httptest)

4. Docker:

   • Create a Dockerfile for each framework implementation
   • Ensure each Docker image is optimized for size (Multistage builds)

5. Docker Compose:

   • Create a docker-compose.yml file that runs all framework versions
   • Configure each service to run on a different port

6. Documentation:

   • Provide a README with setup and running instructions

7. Makefile driven: You should use make and a Makefile to drive the steps of

• Building the binaries
• Formatting
• Linting
• Building the images
• Launching the containers

Optional Enhancements:

• Implement graceful shutdown for each server

Acceptance Criteria:

• All implementations pass the same test suite
• Docker images build and run successfully
• Docker Compose file correctly orchestrates all services
• README provides clear instructions for running and testing the project
