In this project-based course we'll build a complete REST API in Go from scratch and ship it to the cloud ready for receiving real traffic and handle scale affordably.
This journey will start from building a simple TCP server with the goal of exploring the net/http package in Go. The goal with this material is that you get the foundational knowledge to build and reason about backend systems in general, not just tutorial videos.
