Go Backend Projects

Monorepo of backend projects implemented in Go following the roadmap.sh backend track.
Each project lives in its own folder at the repo root and ships with its own docs.

🔗 roadmap.sh projects: https://roadmap.sh/backend/projects

🚀 Vision

• Practice backend engineering fundamentals with Go
• Build a portfolio of real, runnable projects
• Demonstrate practical skills for backend/cloud roles
• Learn by doing through the roadmap.sh project list

🧪 Running Tests

Each project is its own Go module. Run tests from within the project directory:

cd task-tracker && go test ./...
cd github_user_activity && go test ./...
cd weather_api && go test ./...
cd unit_converter && go test ./...

🛠 Prerequisites

• Go toolchain (modules target Go 1.25.x as declared in go.mod files)
• For weather_api: an OpenWeatherMap API key (see weather_api/README.md for setup)
