Refactor core kernel and infrastructure to support true microservices
architecture where services are independently deployable.
Phase 1: Core Kernel Cleanup
- Remove database provider from CoreModule (services create their own)
- Update ProvideHealthRegistry to not depend on database
- Add schema support to database client (NewClientWithSchema)
- Update main entry point to remove database dependency
- Core kernel now provides only: config, logger, error bus, health, metrics, tracer, service registry
Phase 2: Service Registry Implementation
- Create ServiceRegistry interface (pkg/registry/registry.go)
- Implement Consul registry (internal/registry/consul/consul.go)
- Add Consul dependency (github.com/hashicorp/consul/api)
- Add registry configuration to config/default.yaml
- Add ProvideServiceRegistry() to DI container
Phase 3: Service Client Interfaces
- Create service client interfaces:
- pkg/services/auth.go - AuthServiceClient
- pkg/services/identity.go - IdentityServiceClient
- pkg/services/authz.go - AuthzServiceClient
- pkg/services/audit.go - AuditServiceClient
- Create ServiceClientFactory (internal/client/factory.go)
- Create stub gRPC client implementations (internal/client/grpc/)
- Add ProvideServiceClientFactory() to DI container
Phase 4: gRPC Service Definitions
- Create proto files for all core services:
- api/proto/auth.proto
- api/proto/identity.proto
- api/proto/authz.proto
- api/proto/audit.proto
- Add generate-proto target to Makefile
Phase 5: API Gateway Implementation
- Create API Gateway service entry point (cmd/api-gateway/main.go)
- Create Gateway implementation (services/gateway/gateway.go)
- Add gateway configuration to config/default.yaml
- Gateway registers with Consul and routes requests to backend services
All code compiles successfully. Core services (Auth, Identity, Authz, Audit)
will be implemented in Epic 2 using these foundations.
- Fix error return value checks (errcheck)
- Fix unused parameters by using underscore prefix
- Add missing package comments to all packages
- Fix context key type issue in middleware (use typed contextKey)
- Replace deprecated trace.NewNoopTracerProvider with noop.NewTracerProvider
- Fix embedded field selector in database client
- Remove trailing whitespace
- Remove revive linter (as requested) to avoid stuttering warnings for public API interfaces
All linting and formatting checks now pass.
- Add fx.Invoke in main.go to force database and HTTP server creation
- This ensures all providers execute and their lifecycle hooks are registered
- Clean up debug logging statements
- Database migrations and HTTP server now start correctly on application startup
Fixes issue where database migrations and HTTP server were not starting
because FX providers were not being executed (lazy evaluation).
- Add tests for internal/config package (90.9% coverage)
- Test all viperConfig getter methods
- Test LoadConfig with default and environment-specific configs
- Test error handling for missing config files
- Add tests for internal/di package (88.1% coverage)
- Test Container lifecycle (NewContainer, Start, Stop)
- Test providers (ProvideConfig, ProvideLogger, CoreModule)
- Test lifecycle hooks registration
- Include mock implementations for testing
- Add tests for internal/logger package (96.5% coverage)
- Test zapLogger with JSON and console formats
- Test all logging levels and methods
- Test middleware (RequestIDMiddleware, LoggingMiddleware)
- Test context helper functions
- Include benchmark tests
- Update CI workflow to skip tests when no test files exist
- Add conditional test execution based on test file presence
- Add timeout for test execution
- Verify build when no tests are present
All tests follow Go best practices with table-driven patterns,
parallel execution where safe, and comprehensive coverage.
Implemented all 5 stories from Epic 0:
Story 0.1: Project Initialization
- Initialize Go module with path git.dcentral.systems/toolz/goplt
- Create complete directory structure (cmd/, internal/, pkg/, modules/, config/, etc.)
- Add comprehensive .gitignore for Go projects
- Create README.md with project overview and setup instructions
Story 0.2: Configuration Management System
- Define ConfigProvider interface in pkg/config
- Implement Viper-based configuration in internal/config
- Create configuration loader with environment support
- Add default, development, and production YAML config files
Story 0.3: Structured Logging System
- Define Logger interface in pkg/logger
- Implement Zap-based logger in internal/logger
- Add request ID middleware for Gin
- Create global logger export with convenience functions
- Support context-aware logging with request/user ID extraction
Story 0.4: CI/CD Pipeline
- Create GitHub Actions workflow for CI (test, lint, build, fmt)
- Add comprehensive Makefile with development commands
- Configure golangci-lint with reasonable defaults
Story 0.5: Dependency Injection and Bootstrap
- Create FX-based DI container in internal/di
- Implement provider functions for Config and Logger
- Create application entry point in cmd/platform/main.go
- Add lifecycle management with graceful shutdown
All acceptance criteria met:
- go build ./cmd/platform succeeds
- go test ./... runs successfully
- go mod verify passes
- Config loads from config/default.yaml
- Logger can be injected and used
- Application starts and shuts down gracefully
