certmagic VS Fiber

Now, I serve TLS directly from the application and was able to make it all work with Certmagic.

For deployment, you may not need a reverse proxy with Nginx or the likes. Certmagic will make HTTPS a breeze. Also makes it possible to handle multi-tenant SaaS domains SSL provisioning. While not the easiest, it was much easier than trying to do it at the reverse proxy and cheaper than doing it with Cloudflare's SaaS service.

If you don't want to move certificate management to a different service, use CertMagic in your app.

With certmagic its done completly automatic using letsencrypt: https://github.com/caddyserver/certmagic

The project is also a boon for devs. The certmagic library0 makes it trivial to add Let's Encrypt support to any Golang web server code.

Because Lego maintainers wouldn't budge when Caddy needed changes made to increase ACME reliability. Matt wrote his own implementation https://github.com/mholt/acmez and started using that in Caddy soon after. There's a deeper explanation here: https://github.com/caddyserver/certmagic/issues/71

That said, I would use https://github.com/caddyserver/certmagic to manage you SSL certs.

I terminate SSL in GO (less moving parts to manage), and use https://github.com/caddyserver/certmagic to provision and renew my certs.

To make my life easier, I added Fiber, a popular lightweight framework. Regardless of which package you use, the process and most of the code will remain unchanged.

Since you're from Nodejs just like me, I use fiber https://gofiber.io/ it's easier to understand from a Nodejs background (express, etc) and there's nothing wrong using it if you know it, your casual application wont need all the performance in the world Go provides

I think u should try Fiber it's the fastest according to the benchmarks and imo it's the best I love it!!!

Boneless is a powerful tool that offers a wide range of features to facilitate application development. In this blog post, we will explore some essential tools that can be used in conjunction with Boneless: Service Weaver, Go Migrate, SQLC, and Fiber. Let's discover how these tools can boost productivity and efficiency in application development.

Fiber

Fibber is web framework written in Go. It is very easy to learn. https://gofiber.io

don’t have an API at all - it’s a security vulnerability and unless you already know how to secure an API suite it’s very likely to increase risk for a dependent project. if you’re set on an API, use a well known routing package (e.g I love gofiber), and add an optional .withMiddleware() to your start func to allow clients to extend and secure the API themselves

I have loved using fiber. Very nice API with lots of configurability and it scales very well compared to echo, gin, etc.
