Prerequisites

Before initiating this project, ensure that you have installed all the required dependencies on your machine.

Software Installation

• Go - Go is an open source programming language that makes it simple to build secure, scalable systems.
• Docker - Docker helps developers bring their ideas to life by conquering the complexity of app development.
• PostgreSQL - The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database
• AWS CLI - The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a unified tool to manage AWS services directly from the command line.

For running Postgres locally using Docker, run the following command:
