When you need to handle text tags in Golang, eg. a Document can be tagged with software engineering, important and golang, you could do it with the Postgres text[] array type.

But with the jsonb type, you have all the marshalling and unmarshalling already there, so all you need to do is have a []string type, like below:

type JSONTags []string

func (tags *JSONTags) Scan(src interface{}) error {

Problem

While building a JavaScript single page app that acts as a front-end to multiple backend servers, even if they are on the same host as the web app - but on different ports, you come across CORS issues.

Solution

Use a simple node.js + hapi.js server to:

1. Serve your static single page app
2. Act as proxy to the backend servers
