Project Structure

Dockerfile - A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image. It allows for the automation of building, running, and testing of software in a containerized environment [1].

README.md - A README file is a document that provides information about a project. It usually includes a description of what the project does, how to install and use it, and any other important details [2]. In this case, it is written in Markdown format.

app.go - This is the main Go file for the application. It contains the entry point and the main logic of the program [3].

go.mod - go.mod is a file that Go uses to manage dependencies for a Go module. It specifies the modules that the application depends on and their versions [4].

go.sum - go.sum is a file that Go uses to verify the integrity of downloaded packages. It contains the expected SHA256 checksums for all the packages that the application depends on [5].

Entrypoints

app.go - This is the main entrypoint of the application. It contains the `main` function, which initializes the application and starts the server when run. It also defines the `HelloWorld` function, which is a simple handler function for returning a greeting message.
