Server Sent Events / Event Streaming using Go

README

# Go HTTP Server

This is a simple HTTP server written in Go that responds with "hello, world" when accessed.

## Prerequisites

- Go installed on your machine. You can download it from [golang.org](https://golang.org/dl/).

## Setup

1. Clone the repository or create a new directory for the project:

```bash
mkdir go-http-server
cd go-http-server
```

2. Initialize the Go module:

```bash
go mod init go-http-server
```

3. Create a file named `main.go` and add the server code.

## Running the Server

1. Run the server using the following command:

```bash
go run main.go
```

2. Open a web browser and go to `http://localhost:3000` to see the "hello, world" message.

## Code Overview

- The server listens on port 3000 by default.
- The `events` function handles requests to the `/events` URL and responds with an event stream.

## Running with Docker

1. Build the Docker image:

```bash
docker build -t go-http-server .
```

2. Run the Docker container:

```bash
# Start the service
docker-compose up -d
```

3. View logs

```bash
docker-compose logs -f
```

4. Check container status

```bash
docker-compose ps
```

5. Restart

```bash
docker-compose restart

```

6. Update and rebuild

```bash
docker-compose up -d --build
```
