Implementing RESTful APIs

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Step-by-step practical recipe for real REST APIs in Go: uses net/http for concurrency, prefers gorilla/mux for dynamic routing, implements JWT middleware via context to propagate claims and a per-request transaction ID, and enforces dependency injection with constructors so DB, logger and services are interfaces. Emphasizes strict error handling (no ignored errors), structured logging (logrus-style interface), TLS behind nginx or direct ListenAndServeTLS, and a cmd/internal/pkg layout that the uploader says is used in Mastercard Labs and healthcare projects.
