Publisher's Synopsis
Golang for Modern Web Development is the complete guide for backend engineers, full-stack developers, and system architects who want to build fast, scalable, and production-ready web applications using Go. Whether you're transitioning from languages like Node.js or Python, or you're looking to upgrade your backend stack for modern performance demands, this book will help you harness the full power of Go with clarity and confidence.
From the fundamentals of Go's syntax and concurrency model to advanced architectural patterns, API design, and production deployment, this book walks you through every critical aspect of building reliable backend systems. You'll learn how to write modular, maintainable code; design clean REST APIs; manage state and data persistence with PostgreSQL, GORM, or sqlc; implement secure authentication with JWT and OAuth2; and deploy your services using Docker and CI/CD pipelines to platforms like AWS or Fly.io.
You won't just read about best practices - you'll implement them through realistic examples, clear explanations, and hands-on code you can run, extend, and use in your own projects.
What you'll master:
- Structuring scalable Go web applications using clean architecture
- Creating fast and secure REST APIs with net/http, Gin, and Fiber
- Managing databases and transactions with GORM, sqlx, or sqlc
- Implementing JWT-based authentication and role-based access control
- Writing robust tests and benchmarking for real-world performance
- Deploying Go applications using Docker, GitHub Actions, and cloud platforms
- Observability with Prometheus metrics, structured logging, and tracing
Because performance, simplicity, and concurrency matter. Go compiles fast, runs fast, and scales effortlessly - all without the complexity of heavyweight runtimes or frameworks. If you're building the next generation of web platforms, Go gives you the tools to do it with precision and speed.
This isn't just a book, it's your engineering upgrade. Ready to build backends that are fast, clean, and production-hardened? Start mastering Golang today.
