A simple CLI and server to check a name availability on Twitter and GitHub.

Source: https://gitdiagram.com/davidaparicio/namecheck

If you have already Docker installed on your laptop

docker run davidaparicio/namecheck:<TAG/VERSION_LIKE_v0.0.5> <PSEUDO_TO_CHECK>

If not, you need Go and all dependencies

go run cmd/cli/main.go <PSEUDO_TO_CHECK>

or the server with

go run cmd/server/main.go

and check with a curl command curl http://localhost:8080/check?username=<PSEUDO_TO_CHECK>

For more information, you can see examples here

Twitter checker is using a GCP Cloud Function, adding a network latency simulation, configurable through a parameter.

Server handles timeouts as recommended Filippo Valsorda on the Cloudflare blog (post 1 / post 2) and Ilija Eftimov.
