Building Server Side API Architecture

on YouTube ↗06m

" summary

Progressive server-side API architecture recommends three concrete stages: start with a minimal controller+model to learn Go, move database code into a datastore package behind interfaces to achieve dependency inversion, then add a service/application layer mirroring DDD for complex logic. Uses standard library (net/http) and the testing package to validate design and enable fast refactors. Applied on a small team (three backend engineers migrating from PHP) and yields clearer boundaries, easier tests, and incremental adoption.
