This code will instrument the HTTP server to manage the requests made to "/ping" 🏓 endpoint with the GET HTTP method and it provides an inline handler that will only respond with a dummy plain text "pong" 🏓 and 200 Status OK.

The former is the actual response that will be sent back to the client 🔙 and so you've to manipulate it (body, status code, headers, etc) while the latter is the HTTP request that comes in 🔜 and it holds all of the info such as request payload, route, querystring params which are accessible within our endpoint code. There are a lot of packages that can be used for routing, my preferred one is the one from Gorilla 🦍. More details here.
