Running Go + AWS example

I tried to run the following example (https://github.com/serverless/examples/tree/master/aws-golang-http-get-post), but hit a few roadblocks on the way and could not get it to work:

1. "dep" command not found

to solve this, i followed the instructions here: https://forum.serverless.com/t/trying-to-get-serverless-golang-example-to-work/5676, so running "go get -v -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep".
However, dep does not install anymore, with the following error:

# github.com/golang/dep/gps
../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/golang/dep@v0.5.4/gps/constraint.go:103:21: cannot use sv (type *semver.Version) as type semver.Version in field value
../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/golang/dep@v0.5.4/gps/constraint.go:122:16: invalid type assertion: c.(semver.Version) (non-interface type *semver.Constraints on left)
../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/golang/dep@v0.5.4/gps/constraint.go:149:4: undefined: semver.Constraint

2. "dep" is deprecated and it is not possible to install it anymore

Looking into it, it seems that the dep package is abandoned and replaced by go modules instead: https://github.com/golang/dep

So my follow up question would be: Do you have any go + aws examples using modern go with modules or would it be easily possible to convert the current examples (I assume using a go.mod file instead would probably work).

Update: I submitted a PR that will make it compile again, but I think the examples need a deeper structural change to confirm to typical go modules folder structures.

Start with the aws-golang-http-get-post example and its current dep-based setup, then review the reported PR and the proposed go.mod-based structure. Confirm the example works with modern Go modules and that its folder layout follows typical Go module conventions.
