pgtype VS mux

[jackc/pgx](github.com/jackc/pgx) and jackc/pgtype for PostgreSQL interactions. Postgres is "defacto" database engine adopted by the Go community, of course, you can use other DBs as well as it has good support in Go.

If you cannot use pgtype, take a look at their interval implementation.

This is not a disproval, but gorilla/mux has comparatively poor benchmark results among popular (many stars) third-party HTTP routers. , used by many users.

This attention to detail also can mean that for key abstractions in a tool or framework, what concretely goes on doesn't go unexplained. For example, when I was learning Go for web development, my first stumbling block was understanding how interfaces worked, particularly http.Handler, which is key to doing web development with Go's powerful net/http package and the fits-like-a-glove package built on top of it, the Gorilla Mux router. My way of finding out how that worked, and seeing the elegance of that interface, was pretty unorthodox - I figured out how Handlers worked by looking directly at Go's source code (which also is a demonstration of Go's readability, if you're interested in joining the Gophers!). And coming out of that was my very first tech talk at in 2015, on learning Gorilla from its Node.js counterpart, Express.js!

In this ApiGateway implementation, we've employed the Gorilla Mux router for enhanced route handling. Let's break down the key components:

Now that we have set up the Go environment, we can start building our API. The first step is to choose a framework. There are several popular frameworks for building APIs in Go, such as Gorilla mux, Echo, and Gin. For this article, we'll use Gorilla mux.

Mir is a toolkit to develop RESTful API backend service like develop service of gRPC. It adapt some HTTP framework sush as Gin, Chi, Hertz, Echo, Iris, Fiber, Macaron, Mux, httprouter。

My personal favorite tools: - https://github.com/go-kit/ for building services (although it's not necessary a great tool for prototyping) - https://github.com/gorilla/mux router (although it's been recently deprecated, so I'm looking for a similar, maintained library) - https://entgo.io/ ORM - https://watermill.io/ for messaging

We will be using Gorilla Mux to create the APIs locally. Gorilla Mux implements a request router and dispatcher to match the incoming requests.
