Over Christmas, I converted mokintoken from PHP to Go. This migration did not require any front end work (nice).

why

  1. I knew little of PHP and the docker container was 700MB+ and filled with dependencies I knew little of
  2. Go is kinda hot today
  3. While I dont know much about Go, I was able to code the server in a single file with only 2 basic dependencies (uuid + sqlite)
  4. Docker container is down to 14mb
