I’m looking for a skilled Golang developer to build a production-ready backend API following clean architecture principles. This project is intentionally small in scope but should demonstrate strong engineering practices, performance awareness, and clean code structure. The goal is to create a solid foundation that can be extended into a larger system. -Tech Stack Language: Golang (latest stable version) Architecture: Clean Architecture (Domain / Use-case / Delivery layers) Database: PostgreSQL or MySQL API: REST (JSON-based) -Core Features Implement a simple domain (e.g., User / Task / Booking system) CRUD operations with proper validation Clean separation of layers: Domain models Use cases (business logic) Handlers (HTTP layer) Proper error handling and structured responses -Production Readiness Even though this is a small project, I expect production-level fundamentals: Structured logging Basic metrics or health check endpoint (/health) Environment-based configuration Graceful shutdown -Database Schema design (normalized and scalable) Migration scripts Repository pattern (testable data layer) -Deliverables Clean, well-structured source code Working API with example endpoints Database migrations + seed data Docker setup README with: Setup steps API usage examples -Budget Fixed budget: $50 Scope is intentionally limited — focus on quality over quantity
