Resume-CV-API

This is an REST API that, when called, returns my resume in a JSON format. I had recently taken a Go course and wanted to use my newly acquired knowledge to build something fun. Terraform and Circle CI were new technologies I had also wanted to learn so, with some reading of the documentation, I was able to use both to build this project.

Current features:

• [x] Resume REST API call
• [x] CI/CD with CircleCI
• [ ] Unit testing

Deployment

The API can be called here: resume.irvinglopez.xyz

To test, run the following in a terminal:

$ curl -L resume.irvinglopez.xyx
            

Code walkthrough

Go was used for the main implementation of this project. The AWK SDK are needed To build this project so those are collected with the go get command in the terminal.

main.go

• Creates a struct based off the structure of my resume.

• getResume() fills the Resume struct with the contents of my real resume.

• formatResume() receives a Resume struct and returns the content of that struct in a JSON format

• handleRequest() uses AWS Gateway to handle requests from AWS Lambda

• project ran by main() by calling handleRequest()

Terraform was used to set up the infrastructure of my project.

main.tf

• creates both AWS Lambda and AWS Gateway infrastructure used to run the app.

For CI/CD, Circle CI was included. The Circle CI config file defines the test, build, and deploy workflows.

.circleci/config.yml

• test: A main_test file was created but has yet to fully be implemented; it will always pass.
• build: installs dependencies, builds the executable according to an included Makefile, and compresses it into a zip file.
• deploy: deploys the zip file to AWS Lambda and returns a URL endpoint at which the API can be called from.

Every update to the project repository triggers terraform plan to update the infrastructure, runs test, and deploys the app to AWS.
