Key benefits

  • Employ a combination of custom and open source solutions for application program interface (API) development
  • Discover asynchronous API and API security patterns and learn how to deploy your web services to the cloud
  • Apply design patterns and techniques to build reactive and scalable web services

Description

Building RESTful web services can be tough as there are countless standards and ways to develop API. In modern architectures such as microservices, RESTful APIs are common in communication, making idiomatic and scalable API development crucial. This book covers basic through to advanced API development concepts and supporting tools. You’ll start with an introduction to REST API development before moving on to building the essential blocks for working with Go. You’ll explore routers, middleware, and available open source web development solutions in Go to create robust APIs, and understand the application and database layers to build RESTful web services. You’ll learn various data formats like protocol buffers and JSON, and understand how to serve them over HTTP and gRPC. After covering advanced topics such as asynchronous API design and GraphQL for building scalable web services, you’ll discover how microservices can benefit from REST. You’ll also explore packaging artifacts in the form of containers and understand how to set up an ideal deployment ecosystem for web services. Finally, you’ll cover the provisioning of infrastructure using infrastructure as code (IaC) and secure your REST API. By the end of the book, you’ll have intermediate knowledge of web service development and be able to apply the skills you’ve learned in a practical way.

Who is this book for?

This book is for all the Go developers who are comfortable with the language and seeking to learn REST API development. Even senior engineers can enjoy this book, as it discusses many cutting-edge concepts, such as building microservices, developing API with GraphQL, using protocol buffers, asynchronous API design, and Infrastructure as a Code. Developers who are already familiar with REST concepts and stepping into the Go world from other platforms, such as Python and Ruby, can also benefit a lot.

What you will learn

  • Explore the fundamentals of API development and web services
  • Understand the various building blocks of API development in Go
  • Use superior open source solutions for representational state transfer (REST) API development
  • Scale a service using microservices and asynchronous design patterns
  • Deliver containerized artifacts to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud
  • Get to grips with API security and its implementation

One of the most enjoyable books I have read for a long time. I coded 43 projects while working through this book, which indicates that they are quite short, concise and aimed at driving home one or two concepts at a time. I found the writing comfortable and it covers most if not all of the architecture patterns you’re likely to encounter in a working capacity. The book is from a couple of years ago so some packages in the book have been updated and the code needs some easily googleable tweaks to work with the current package versions as of Q3 2021. This is a book that will give you a good repository of starter projects and boilerplates for your own projects. If you know the Go language and fancy learning some web services development beyond the standard library net/http packages or Gorilla then this will give you a great intro to common API and microservices approaches. An easy 4.5 / 5

Very disappointing experience of buying this book. Wish I can get my money back. Feels like author googled few libraries and put together some very basic code. A better explanation and code can be found easily on google. Really very disappointing for me.

It seems like this author was trying in every possible way to extend the length of the book. To be fair that seems to be the case with most programming books today. The book is supposed to be about designing services yet you will often spend time setting up database data. It would had been better to just start with a base code that already has the database setup and focus on writing the restful services which is suppose to be the book's focus. It seems the author ran out of words and was trying to find a way to make the book longer.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.
