Building microservices in Go with Fiber
Blog post from LogRocket
Go, a programming language developed by Google engineers in 2007, is favored for its speed and reliability, making it a popular choice for web development, particularly in microservices architecture. This article provides a guide on building microservices in Go using the Fiber framework, which is inspired by the Node.js Express framework and built on top of the Fast HTTP package. Fiber is known for its performance and ease of use, especially for developers familiar with Node.js, Python, or Ruby. The text explains the basics of microservices, highlighting their maintainability, testability, and fault isolation, and demonstrates how to set up a simple microservice with routes to fetch blog posts using Fiber. By walking through the process of initializing a project, installing dependencies, and defining routes and functions, the article showcases how Fiber simplifies the development of efficient web applications and microservices in Go.
