Gin VS Fiber

Now let’s define the functions that will be called whenever a request hits our API. All the functions will be referencing the context provided by the Gin web framework. Paste the following code below the sample slice we just added to api.go:

We will be using Gorilla Mux. As per their last update, they have a new group of maintainers, and their repos have shown activity to confirm that. The tutorial can be easily replicated in any other framework or library as well. So, while we will be using Gorilla Mux, you can try to replicate it in Gin or Fiber as well.

Now, let's dive into the fun part – creating our basic ToDo application using the powerful Gin framework. This section will walk you through the steps, breaking down the code into manageable snippets.

Thanks to the AWS Lambda Web Adapter, the application built as a (good old) REST/HTTP API using a familiar library (in this case, Gin.

Excellent Performance: Sponge is built on the gin framework, providing outstanding performance for web service development.

In this blog, we will delve into the fascinating realm of handling images in a Golang application, leveraging the power of the Gin framework for RESTful API development, MongoDB as a robust NoSQL database, and the mongo-driver library for seamless interaction with MongoDB. To store images efficiently, we'll explore the intricacies of GridFS, a specification within MongoDB for storing large files as separate chunks.

It uses Gin as the HTTP framework and PostgreSQL as the database with pgx as the driver and Squirrel as the query builder. It also utilizes Redis as the caching layer with go-redis as the client.

I have created an application with Go in Gin-Gonic. In my frontend (Nuxt3/TypeScript) I always get a CORS error:

We use Gin web framework https://gin-gonic.com for the routing, Gin provides a balance between performance, ease of use and extensibility making it a preferred choice for building and running web applications in Go.

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.
