Go.mod

When using Go 1.11+, just use gomod for managing deps, don't use the others tools unless you have a good reason.

When using gomod, you have to add some annotations for Heroku to your go.mod file. Docs state it defaults to building ., it seemed it was ./cmd/. which was not correct for me.

Probably best to state it explicitly.

// +heroku goVersion go1.11
// +heroku install .

For more info, read Heroku's docs on Go.
