  1. Superb article. Basically answered my question as regards persisting the db object for the lifetime of the application without any drawbacks.

  2. Nice article! Thanks for helping me to bootstrap this nice little service, I love it. Just a small adjust that I needed to do:
    – the service is reporting this log to all the calls: `http: superfluous response.WriteHeader call from github.com/go-chi/render.JSON (responder.go:104)`

    I found that it happens because of the line: `w.WriteHeader(405)` and `w.WriteHeader(400)` inside the functions: `methodNotAllowedHandler` and `notFoundHandler`; removing these two lines fixed the issue; and actually we are returning the proper status code because of the errors values inside the `handler/errors.go` file, so no harm done by removing these lines.
