Building microservices in Go with Gin

• Gin

  152 75,668 8.5 Go

  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.

  

We can also use the Gin framework, which offers you every feature you need for building RESTful modern microservices. In this tutorial, I will explain how to build microservices in Go with Gin.

• httprouter

  38 16,306 5.3 Go

  A high performance HTTP request router that scales well

Gin comes with a very fast and lightweight Go HTTP routing library (see the detailed benchmark). It uses a custom version of the lightweight HttpRouter routing library, which uses a fast, Radix tree-based routing algorithm.

• mux

  86 17,948 2.6 Go

  Discontinued A powerful HTTP router and URL matcher for building Go web servers with 🦍

  

We could also use the inbuilt Go net/http package for building microservices, but it doesn’t offer parameterized routing. You could use Gorilla mux as your routing library, but Gorilla mux is not as fully-featured a web framework as compared to Gin — it’s just an HTTP request multiplexer. Gorilla mux doesn’t offer inbuilt data rendering, JSON binding or validation, or pre-built middleware like Gin.

• validator

  68 15,640 7.4 Go

  :100:Go Struct and Field validation, including Cross Field, Cross Struct, Map, Slice and Array diving

  

We need to use the binding struct tag to define our validation rules inside the PrintJob struct. Gin uses go-playground/validator for the internal binding validator implementation. The above validation definition accepts inputs based on the following rules:

• resty

  11 9,401 7.8 Go

  Simple HTTP and REST client library for Go

  

We need to call PrinterService from the InvoiceGenerator. Therefore, we need an HTTP client in our project. Install Go’s resty HTTP client library with the following command.
