  • Ask HN: Are you using Go for web development?

    Yes, monolithic Go RESTful JSON API services - we currently depend on go-swagger, SQLBoiler (PostgreSQL) and echo.

    Workflow: we use VSCode with devContainers (docker-compose local dev env), our tasks are simply defined in a Makefile. Our high-lvl dev workflow is documented here: https://github.com/allaboutapps/go-starter/wiki/FAQ#how-does...

    Difficulties: Nothing special actually. We switched from Node.js to Go in the beginning of 2020 and it's been a pleasure for our new projects (software agency). I thought it was going to be hard to onboard our staff / new hires to Go and our stack, but this really turned out to be a non issue.

    Can only second this, we use a VSCode devContainer-based setup in all of our projects and even migrate our legacy projects to it (software agency).

    Here's our current base go template, you only need Docker+VSCode on your system to get started: https://github.com/allaboutapps/go-starter
