Unit Testing RESTful APIs with TDD and Golang with Docker

A golang tutorial on test driven development for RESTful API.

This is an extension to a prior article on Building APIs with Golang + Docker found here: https://medium.com/code-uncomplicated/building-apis-in-go-beyond-hello-world-5d501d6403de

Unit Tests at the API level are often overlooked, however it’s essential to have those tests in place to catch bugs early on and facilitate confident refactoring.
