 1. There's a slew of app optimizations still left, such as separating `/ping` and `/metrics` endpoints onto different listeners (separate for application endpoints), make logging configurable between text/color and JSON and some other things. This was my first time using Gin.
 2. I didn't configure test coverage or pay attention to that much. Just wrote a few small unit tests and a sanity-check end2end test (just verifies that the app runs and I can /ping it) via docker-compose.
+3. go and jsonnet/jb/tanka fight over the `vendor` directory. This is somewhat fixed with `-mod=readonly` or `-mod=mod` as an explicit flag to go commands, or `GOFLAGS=-mod=mod`, however, Jetbrains GOLAND still has problems if the `vendor` directory exists and doesn't have go files in it. See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/GO-10952/No-way-to-disable-vendoring-for-Sync-Dependencies-quick-fix. To get Goland to not freak out, `rm -rfd vendor`. This of course breaks all the Jsonnet, so when you are ready to do anything else, run `task jb:install`. Another possible way to fix this is if tanka supported other vendor directories. See https://github.com/grafana/tanka/issues/356 and https://github.com/grafana/tanka/issues/820.
