🎮 CLI Management

DanceLessonsCoach now includes a modern CLI built with Cobra framework:

# Show help and available commands
./bin/dance-lessons-coach --help

# Show version information
./bin/dance-lessons-coach version

# Greet someone by name
./bin/dance-lessons-coach greet John

# Start the server
./bin/dance-lessons-coach server

Available Commands:

  • version - Print version information
  • server - Start the DanceLessonsCoach server
  • greet [name] - Greet someone by name
  • help - Built-in help system
  • completion - Generate shell completion scripts

Server Command Flags:

  • --config - Config file path
  • --env - Environment (dev, staging, prod)
  • --debug - Enable debug logging

Version Information

The server provides runtime version information:

# Check version using new CLI
./bin/dance-lessons-coach version

# Check version using server binary
./bin/server --version

# Output:
DanceLessonsCoach Version Information:
  Version:   1.0.0
  Commit:    abc1234
  Built:     2026-04-05T10:00:00+0000
  Go:        go1.26.1

Using the Server Control Script

A convenient shell script is provided for managing the server lifecycle:

# Navigate to project directory
cd /Users/gabrielradureau/Work/Vibe/DanceLessonsCoach

# Start the server
./scripts/start-server.sh start

# Check server status
./scripts/start-server.sh status

# Test API endpoints
./scripts/start-server.sh test

# View server logs
./scripts/start-server.sh logs

# Stop the server
./scripts/start-server.sh stop

Server Control Script Commands:

  • start - Start the server in background with proper logging
  • stop - Stop the server gracefully
  • restart - Restart the server
  • status - Check if server is running
  • logs - Show recent server logs
  • test - Test all API endpoints

Manual Server Management

If you prefer manual control:

# Navigate to project directory
cd /Users/gabrielradureau/Work/Vibe/DanceLessonsCoach

# Run server in background using control script
./scripts/start-server.sh start

Expected output:

Server running on :8080
[INF] Starting HTTP server on :8080
[TRC] Registering greet routes
[TRC] Greet routes registered

Features:

  • Context-aware server initialization
  • Graceful shutdown handling
  • Signal-based termination (SIGINT, SIGTERM)
  • 30-second shutdown timeout
  • Proper resource cleanup

Configuration Management

The server supports flexible configuration through environment variables with the DLC_ prefix:

Available Configuration Options:

Option Environment Variable Default Value Description
Host DLC_SERVER_HOST 0.0.0.0 Server bind address
Port DLC_SERVER_PORT 8080 Server listening port
Shutdown Timeout DLC_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT 30s Graceful shutdown timeout
JSON Logging DLC_LOGGING_JSON false Enable JSON format logging
Log Output DLC_LOGGING_OUTPUT "" Log output file path (empty for stderr)

Usage Examples:

# Custom port
export DLC_SERVER_PORT=9090
./scripts/start-server.sh start

# Custom host and port
export DLC_SERVER_HOST="127.0.0.1"
export DLC_SERVER_PORT=8081
./scripts/start-server.sh start

# Custom shutdown timeout
export DLC_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=45s
./scripts/start-server.sh start

# Enable JSON logging
export DLC_LOGGING_JSON=true
./scripts/start-server.sh start

# Log to file
export DLC_LOGGING_OUTPUT="server.log"
./scripts/start-server.sh start

# Combined: JSON logging to file
export DLC_LOGGING_JSON=true
export DLC_LOGGING_OUTPUT="server.json.log"
./scripts/start-server.sh start

Configuration File Support:

A config.example.yaml file is provided as a template. By default, the application looks for config.yaml in the current working directory.

To specify a custom config file path, set the DLC_CONFIG_FILE environment variable:

DLC_CONFIG_FILE="/path/to/config.yaml" go run ./cmd/server

Example config.yaml:

server:
  host: "0.0.0.0"
  port: 8080

shutdown:
  timeout: 30s

logging:
  json: false

Configuration Loading:

  • File-based configuration takes highest precedence
  • Environment variables override defaults but are overridden by config file
  • Default values are used when no other configuration is provided
  • All configuration is validated on startup
  • Invalid configurations cause server startup failure
  • Configuration values and source are logged at startup

Verification:

# Test with custom configuration
DLC_SERVER_PORT=9090 DLC_SERVER_HOST="127.0.0.1" ./scripts/start-server.sh start

# Verify it's running on the custom port
curl http://127.0.0.1:9090/api/health
# Expected: {"status":"healthy"}

Checking Server Status

# Check health endpoint
curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/health

# Check readiness endpoint
curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/ready

Expected responses:

  • Health: {"status":"healthy"}
  • Readiness (normal): {"ready":true}
  • Readiness (during shutdown): {"ready":false} with HTTP 503

Endpoint Differences:

  • Health endpoint (/api/health): Indicates if the application is running and functional
  • Readiness endpoint (/api/ready): Indicates if the application is ready to accept traffic

Use Cases:

  • Health: Used by load balancers to check if the app is alive
  • Readiness: Used by Kubernetes/service meshes to determine if the app can accept new requests

During Graceful Shutdown:

  • Health endpoint continues to return {"status":"healthy"}
  • Readiness endpoint returns {"ready":false} with HTTP 503 Service Unavailable
  • This allows existing requests to complete while preventing new requests

Stopping the Server

To stop the server gracefully:

# Send SIGTERM for graceful shutdown
kill -TERM $(lsof -ti :8080)

# Or send SIGINT (Ctrl+C equivalent)
pkill -INT -f "go run"

Graceful shutdown process:

  1. Server receives termination signal
  2. Logs shutdown message
  3. Stops accepting new connections
  4. Waits up to 30 seconds for active requests to complete
  5. Closes all connections cleanly
  6. Exits with proper cleanup

For force stop (if graceful shutdown hangs):

kill -9 $(lsof -ti :8080)

Verification:

curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/health
# Should return connection refused

🌐 API Endpoints

Base URL

http://localhost:8080

OpenAPI Documentation

Swagger UI: http://localhost:8080/swagger/ OpenAPI Spec: http://localhost:8080/swagger/doc.json

The API provides interactive documentation using Swagger UI with complete OpenAPI 2.0 specification. All endpoints, request/response models, and validation rules are documented using a hierarchical tagging system.

Features:

  • Interactive API exploration with hierarchical organization
  • Try-it-out functionality for all endpoints
  • Model schemas with examples
  • Response examples with validation rules
  • Hierarchical tag structure for better navigation

Generation: Documentation is auto-generated from code annotations using swaggo/swag with the command:

go generate ./pkg/server/

Tag Organization:

  • API/v1/Greeting - Version 1 greeting endpoints
  • API/v2/Greeting - Version 2 greeting endpoints
  • System/Health - Health and readiness endpoints

Hierarchical Benefits:

  • Clear separation between API domains (API vs System)
  • Version organization within each domain
  • Natural hierarchy in Swagger UI
  • Scalable for future API growth
# Generate documentation
go generate ./pkg/server/

Embedded Documentation: The OpenAPI spec is embedded in the binary using Go's //go:embed directive for single-binary deployment.


Health Check

Health Check

GET /api/health

Response:

{"status":"healthy"}

Readiness Check

GET /api/ready

Responses:

  • Normal operation: {"ready":true} (HTTP 200)
  • During shutdown: {"ready":false} (HTTP 503 Service Unavailable)

Purpose: Indicates whether the server is ready to accept new requests. Returns false during graceful shutdown to allow existing requests to complete while preventing new ones.

Greet Service

GET /api/v1/greet/
GET /api/v1/greet/{name}

Examples:

# Default greeting
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/greet/
# Response: {"message":"Hello world!"}

# Personalized greeting
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/greet/John
# Response: {"message":"Hello John!"}

# Another example
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/greet/Alice
# Response: {"message":"Hello Alice!"}

Greet Service v2 (Feature Flag Enabled)

POST /api/v2/greet

Request Body:

{
  "name": "John"
}

Examples:

# Valid request
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v2/greet \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"John"}'
# Response: {"message":"Hello my friend John!"}

# Empty name (valid, returns default)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v2/greet \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":""}'
# Response: {"message":"Hello my friend!"}

# Missing name field (valid, returns default)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v2/greet \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
# Response: {"message":"Hello my friend!"}

# Name too long (validation error)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v2/greet \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"ThisNameIsWayTooLongAndShouldFailValidationBecauseItExceedsTheMaximumAllowedLengthOf100Characters!!!!"}'
# Response: {"error":"validation_failed","message":"Invalid request data","details":[{"message":"Name failed validation for 'max' (parameter: 100)"}]}'

Validation Rules:

  • name: Maximum length 100 characters (optional field)

Feature Flag: Enable with DLC_API_V2_ENABLED=true or in config file with api.v2_enabled: true

🔗 OpenTelemetry & Jaeger Integration

The application supports OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing with Jaeger compatibility.

Configuration

Enable OpenTelemetry in your config.yaml:

telemetry:
  enabled: true
  otlp_endpoint: "localhost:4317"
  service_name: "DanceLessonsCoach"
  insecure: true
  sampler:
    type: "parentbased_always_on"
    ratio: 1.0

Or via environment variables:

export DLC_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=true
export DLC_TELEMETRY_OTLP_ENDPOINT="localhost:4317"
export DLC_TELEMETRY_SERVICE_NAME="DanceLessonsCoach"
export DLC_TELEMETRY_INSECURE=true
export DLC_TELEMETRY_SAMPLER_TYPE="parentbased_always_on"
export DLC_TELEMETRY_SAMPLER_RATIO=1.0

Testing with Jaeger

  1. Start Jaeger in Docker:
docker run -d --name jaeger \
  -e COLLECTOR_OTLP_ENABLED=true \
  -p 16686:16686 \
  -p 4317:4317 \
  jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest
  1. Start the server with OpenTelemetry enabled:
# Using config file
./scripts/start-server.sh start

# Or with environment variables
DLC_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=true ./scripts/start-server.sh start
  1. Make API requests:
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/greet/John
  1. View traces in Jaeger UI: Open http://localhost:16686 and select the "DanceLessonsCoach" service.

Sampler Types

  • always_on: Sample all traces
  • always_off: Sample no traces
  • traceidratio: Sample based on trace ID ratio
  • parentbased_always_on: Sample based on parent span (always on)
  • parentbased_always_off: Sample based on parent span (always off)
  • parentbased_traceidratio: Sample based on parent span with ratio

Testing Script

Use the provided test script:

./scripts/test-opentelemetry.sh

This script:

  1. Starts Jaeger container
  2. Starts the server with OpenTelemetry
  3. Makes test API calls
  4. Shows Jaeger UI URL
  5. Cleans up on exit

🔧 Development Workflow

1. Check Server Status

curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/health

2. Start Development Server

cd /Users/gabrielradureau/Work/Vibe/DanceLessonsCoach
./scripts/start-server.sh start

3. Test API Endpoints

# Test all endpoints as shown above
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/greet/YourName

4. Run Tests

# Run all tests
go test ./...

# Run specific package
go test ./pkg/greet/

5. Build Binaries

The project uses a build script to compile binaries into the bin/ directory:

# Build both server and greet binaries
./scripts/build.sh

# This creates:
# - ./bin/server - The web server binary
# - ./bin/greet  - The CLI greeting tool

Binary Usage:

# Run the server
./bin/server

# Use the greet CLI
./bin/greet          # Output: Hello world!
./bin/greet John     # Output: Hello John!

The bin/ directory is gitignored to prevent binary files from being committed to the repository.

6. Make Changes

  • Edit source files in pkg/ or cmd/
  • Follow existing patterns and interfaces
  • Add tests for new functionality

7. Stop and Restart

./scripts/start-server.sh restart

📝 Architecture Decisions

Interface-Based Design

type Greeter interface {
    Greet(ctx context.Context, name string) string
}

Benefits:

  • Easy mocking for tests
  • Dependency injection
  • Multiple implementations
  • Clear contracts

Context-Aware Services

func (s *Service) Greet(ctx context.Context, name string) string {
    log.Trace().Ctx(ctx).Str("name", name).Msg("Greet function called")
    // ...
}

Benefits:

  • Request tracing
  • Cancellation support
  • Deadline propagation
  • Metadata passing

Server Context Management

// Root context with cancellation
ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
defer cancel()

// Server context with graceful shutdown
serverCtx, serverStop := context.WithCancel(ctx)

// HTTP server with context-aware shutdown
srv := &http.Server{
	Addr:    ":8080",
	Handler: server.Router(),
}

// Graceful shutdown with timeout
shutdownCtx, shutdownCancel := context.WithTimeout(
	context.Background(), 
	30*time.Second
)
defer shutdownCancel()

if err := srv.Shutdown(shutdownCtx); err != nil {
	log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Server shutdown failed")
}

Benefits:

  • Graceful shutdown handling
  • Signal-based termination (SIGINT, SIGTERM)
  • 30-second timeout for active connections
  • Proper resource cleanup
  • Context propagation throughout server lifecycle

Zerolog Logging

zerolog.SetGlobalLevel(zerolog.TraceLevel)
log.Logger = log.Output(zerolog.ConsoleWriter{Out: os.Stderr})

Benefits:

  • High performance
  • Structured logging
  • Trace level detail
  • Color output

Versioned API

router.Route("/api/v1", func(r chi.Router) {
    // v1 endpoints
})

Benefits:

  • Backward compatibility
  • Clear versioning
  • Easy migration
  • Parallel versions

🔍 Troubleshooting

Port Already in Use

# Find and kill process using port 8080
kill -TERM $(lsof -ti :8080)

Server Not Responding

# Check if running
curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/health

# Restart server using control script
./scripts/start-server.sh restart

Dependency Issues

# Clean and rebuild
go mod tidy
go build ./...

Tests Failing

# Run with verbose output
go test -v ./...

# Check specific test
go test ./pkg/greet/ -run TestName

📚 Code Examples

Adding New API Endpoint

// 1. Add to interface
func (h *apiV1GreetHandler) RegisterRoutes(router chi.Router) {
    router.Get("/", h.handleGreetQuery)
    router.Get("/{name}", h.handleGreetPath)
    router.Post("/custom", h.handleCustomGreet) // New endpoint
}

// 2. Implement handler
func (h *apiV1GreetHandler) handleCustomGreet(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // Parse request
    // Call service
    // Return JSON response
}

Adding Logging

// Trace level logging
log.Trace().Ctx(ctx).Str("key", "value").Msg("message")

// Info level
log.Info().Msg("Important event")

// Error level
log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Error occurred")

Using Context

// Pass context through calls
func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    result := service.Greet(r.Context(), "John")
    // ...
}

// Create context with values
ctx := context.WithValue(r.Context(), "key", "value")

// Create context with timeout
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(r.Context(), 5*time.Second)
defer cancel()

🎓 Best Practices

Code Organization

  • Keep handlers thin, move logic to services
  • Use interfaces for dependencies
  • Separate route registration from handlers
  • Group related functionality

Error Handling

  • Return proper HTTP status codes
  • Log errors with context
  • Don't expose internal errors to clients
  • Use structured error responses

Performance

  • Use Zerolog's Trace level sparingly in production
  • Avoid allocations in hot paths
  • Use context timeouts for external calls
  • Batch database operations

Testing

  • Test interfaces, not implementations
  • Use table-driven tests
  • Test error cases
  • Mock dependencies
