Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • You can find the implementation source code in the following GitHub repository

  • jwt

    Community maintained clone of https://github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go (by golang-jwt)

  • To add JWT authentication to our ToDo application, we'll be using the Golang-jwt library. The golang-jwt package simplifies the implementation of JWTs in Go applications, offering a suite of convenient functions that abstract away the complexities associated with token creation, verification, and management.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • frank_jwt

    JSON Web Token implementation in Rust.

  • JWTs, or JSON Web Tokens, serve as compact and self-contained data structures for transmitting information securely between parties. JWTs specify the token type, contain claims about an entity, and ensure integrity through cryptographic signatures.

  • permify

    Permify is an open-source authorization service inspired by Google Zanzibar.

  • At that point consider exploring our solution, Permify. It's a Google Zanzibar-based open-source authorization service that helps to build scalable authorization systems.

  • Gin

    Gin is a HTTP web framework written in Go (Golang). It features a Martini-like API with much better performance -- up to 40 times faster. If you need smashing performance, get yourself some Gin.

  • 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.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
