Go + Gin + PostgreSQL: Getting a Real Server Running From Scratch E-2

# DESCRIPTION By the end of this episode you'll have a live Go web server talking to a real PostgreSQL database, and the only thing you'll have installed manually is Docker.

We start from a completely empty folder, initialize a Go module, wire up the Gin router, and spin up a Postgres instance with a single Docker Compose command. No local Postgres installs, no configuration rabbit holes. Just a working server, a connected database, and a clean foundation to build on.
