Background

Create a very basic API application using ​the Go language​, where we can retrieve product information.

Tasks

1. Create a web application connected to your own DynamoDB instance.
   • Create a sample table that will store products. Products will minimally have a name and a price.
2. Your web application should utilize RESTful routing and be able to query out the relevant product information through its API, sorting by price descending by default.

Assumptions + Notes

• App will be setup with a local DynamoDB instance.
• Return values will be presented in JSON format (or a short error message).
• Sorting DynamoDB query results in descending order is not intuitive, so, for simplification, query results will be manually sorted.
• Assuming that all update requests include values for the new Name and/or Price.

API

• Get All: GET http://localhost:8000

• Create: POST http://localhost:8000/product

• Read: GET http://localhost:8000/product/{id}

• Update: PUT http://localhost:8000/product/{id}

• Delete: DELETE http://localhost:8000/product/{id}

• DynamoDB Endpoint: http://localhost:8080
