Description

Gin is a high-performance HTTP web framework used to build web applications and microservices in Go. This book is designed to teach you the ins and outs of the Gin framework with the help of practical examples. You’ll start by exploring the basics of the Gin framework, before progressing to build a real-world RESTful API. Along the way, you’ll learn how to write custom middleware and understand the routing mechanism, as well as how to bind user data and validate incoming HTTP requests. The book also demonstrates how to store and retrieve data at scale with a NoSQL database such as MongoDB, and how to implement a caching layer with Redis. Next, you’ll understand how to secure and test your API endpoints with authentication protocols such as OAuth 2 and JWT. Later chapters will guide you through rendering HTML templates on the server-side and building a frontend application with the React web framework to consume API responses. Finally, you’ll deploy your application on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and learn how to automate the deployment process with a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. By the end of this Gin book, you will be able to design, build, and deploy a production-ready distributed application from scratch using the Gin framework.

What you will learn

Build a production-ready REST API with the Gin framework

Scale web applications with event-driven architecture

Use NoSQL databases for data persistence

Set up authentication middleware with JWT and Auth0

Deploy a Gin-based RESTful API on AWS with Docker and Kubernetes

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

I choose this book only to learn something more about the Gin web framework, to use for an API project. What I found in the book, is not only a deep and complete guide to Gin but also a full tutorial on how to create an API from A to Z. It describes you how to create an API, how to connect it to a database, how to properly write and maintain its documentation using Swagger, caching with Redis, authentication with JWT... in order words, it will teach you everything you need to know to build you next API.

I have been a software developer for 10+ years and have read many software framework books/manuals. I find they can sometimes offer very little extra information when compared to the framework documentation, but that is not the case with this book. It is rich with information and takes you through a complete small project journey using a great language and framework.I felt the book was very well balance, it deep dived when it needed to and gave an overview when it was dealing with a topic which could be expanded on at the users leisure outside of reading, without leaving them confused.In particular, the chapters around Scaling, testing and CI deployment really stood out as I have personally had to trawl blog posts and documentation to try and get some of these answers/examples. It is a great time saver to have them clearly laid out in one place and be well written and explained.Who should read this book? developers that are confident with GO fundamentals but are fairly new to micro-services and their implementation. Also, if you currently have one or more projects that use Gin but feel you need greater guidance past the general documentation, it's a great companion.

Nice book for beginners as well for experienced developers to quickly grasp content. What I particularly found useful is, I can read it as a reference at one place, combined with various examples from many sources. So I don't have to read 50 topics at so many place but this concise book is the best reference material at one place. Printing quality, examples and chronological order of content is excellent.

Gin is a hugely popular framework for Go projects this book takes you from the beginning of API/services explanations and design all the way through to production-ready, cloud-based services. The pace of the book gives a gentle, constant and managed learning curve. Following an iterative, incremental approach so you will refactor your code many times handling complexity and feature-rich revisions as you would in a real-world project. The book’s pace is well balanced between the topics that need more weight and ones that can be presented without too much filler material.I spent over 50 hours reviewing the book and feel like I learned a lot by seeing how another senior engineer would approach this problem space as well as seeing how they used tools and utility services to make the development cycle easier. The book also offers challenges to add additional features and improvements to cement the learning opportunities presented.I would recommend the book to backend engineers interested in Go, engineers who are already Go enthusiasts will have plenty to work on here too. As always the ultimate question is should I buy this book? If you are interested in Cloud, AWS, MongoDB, Gin or Go/Golang then you’ll get good value from this title.

I got the book as a preview to read. A big advantage of the book is the structure. It does not only focus on implementation details but also covers a large part of the topics around CI/CD. Furthermore, modern tools like Prometheus, Grafana or the ELK-Stack are used (at this point I would have preferred Loki in combination with Grafana as logging framework though).Topics around security are also covered. What I also find particularly good is the fact that in many places alternative tolls and frameworks to the solutions used are presented or mentioned.In some places the book is a bit "chatty". Especially when it comes to the use of git.On the whole, however, the book is very good, with clear examples that I could already use in my current work one or two times.However, you should have some experience with Go, because the book is not suitable for learning the language.
