GOairways-Backend

Overview

This project is a backend application built using the Go programming language and the Fiber framework. The application follows a microservices architecture, employing JWT authentication with 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication), bcrypt for password hashing, and secure HttpOnly cookies for session management. The backend enables users to perform a variety of actions such as creating and approving routes, managing buy models, registering plans, creating accounts, and logging in securely.

  • Secure password storage using bcrypt.
  • Session management using HttpOnly cookies.
• Core Functionalities:
  • User registration and account management.
  • Secure login with optional 2FA.
  • Creation and approval of routes.
  • Management of buy models.
  • Plane registration and updates.
• Security Features:
