The conviction rate for rape in Nigeria is less than 3%. Baba Ijesha was convicted and you people are integrating him back to society??? And there’s no rage, no anger??
Long shot but a friend is undergoing dialysis and he needs financial support. If any of you kind people knows a charity/foundation that handles such cases, please put me through to em.
Phases 3 of my Golang Restaurant API are done ✅
Here's everything I built:
𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲
→ Separate Go service subscribing to Redis Streams
→ Main API publishes job → returns immediately
→ Watermill manages streams + consumer groups
→ msg.Ack() on success / msg.Nack() on failure
→ Publisher behind interface → swap transport in one line
→ Resend delivers emails via verified custom domain
→ Domain purchased from https://t.co/3aqv5PzqSK + verified on Resend
𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘂 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺
→ Menu categories with Cloudinary image upload
→ Menu items with allergens + dietary tags
→ Many-to-many allergen + dietary tag relationships
→ Toggle availability (auto-disabled when stock runs out)
→ Multiple images per menu item (max 4, primary auto-set)
→ Full Redis caching on all read endpoints (Upstash)
→ Cache invalidation on every write
→ Cache key per page + filter combination
→ NopStore for testing (no Redis needed)
𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸
→ Go + Gin
→ PostgreSQL (Neon)
→ Redis Streams + Cache (Upstash)
→ Watermill, Resend, Cloudinary, Docker
I genuinely think if we all moved to a 4 day working week it would change the course of society. People would be happier, healthier, less angry, more present, I really think it would change the world.
I've had this landing page sitting for years

Today I'm finally building the full backend.
Geritcht is a restaurant platform where customers can:
→ Browse the menu
→ Place takeout orders
→ Reserve a table for dinner
→ Get AI-powered dish recommendations based on allergies and preferences
Here's what the backend will look like technically:
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵
→ JWT auth with refresh token rotation
→ Email verification via event driven email microservice
→ Role based access (customer, staff, admin)
𝗔𝗜 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
→ Claude API reads the live menu
→ Customer inputs allergies, dietary needs, mood, budget
→ AI suggests dishes with reasons
→ Falls back to manual filter if API fails
𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
→ Redis distributed locking (zero double bookings)
→ PostgreSQL FOR UPDATE as second line of defence
→ Waitlist system with 15 min confirmation window
→ Confirmation + reminder emails
𝗢𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀
→ Takeout and dine in flows
→ Real time status via WebSockets
→ Pay first, order after pattern (Paystack)
→ Idempotent payments with webhook verification
𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆
→ Ingredients auto deducted on order
→ Low stock SMS + email alerts
→ Menu items auto disabled when ingredient runs out
𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻
→ All notifications via async message queue
→ Dedicated email microservice (subscriber)
→ Handlers return fast, emails fire in background
Stack: Go + Gin, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Upstash, Cloudinary, Resend, Paystack
I will be Building in public. Daily updates.
