This can largely change based on your configuration, so keep that in mind.

Running with just Golang

go run .

Development

docker compose watch

Production

Build and deploy to your cluster based on your configuration.

Usage

1. Once the docker is running find the ip address
2. Make a GPRC request like <ip address>:8081 as the server and Gobre/HandleRequest as the handler.
3. Have a message formatted like

{
    "FileData": "raw file data",
    "NewFileType": "pdf",
    "OriginalFileType": "docx"
}

4. Make GRPC call.

*Note you can use reflection on your client to get the avaiable service definitions and data structures.
