forum-api's Issues

Create deployment pipeline

Create a simple deployment pipeline that:

• triggers on tag release.
• runs all test suites and shows the coverage report.
• stops if any test fails.
• deploys to render.

Guide: https://docs.render.com/deploy-hooks#using-with-github-actions

Create Makefile

Create Makefile to automate the following commands:

• go run
• go build
• go download
• go test

Also:

• Create an auto release + version command.
• Adapt it for docker + add messages

TODO:

• Consider adding a helper command, like in: https://gist.github.com/thomaspoignant/5b72d579bd5f311904d973652180c705

Dockerize local environment

Create Dockerfile definition for local environment, and automate all Makefiles commands through the Docker virtual environment.

NOTE: Move reused stuff to a test utilities package.
