Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • 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.

  • I Googled about which Go web framework is the best for beginners, but turned out to be not that helpful. However, a lot of them mentioned Gin and has almost 60k stars on GitHub. So I chose Gin as my framework to get started.

  • air

    ☁️ Live reload for Go apps

  • So some web frameworks (such as Python Flask) has a builtin hot reloader for the development server. Unfortunately, Gin doesn't come with that. I chose to use air as my auto reloader and of course you can use others.

  • 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.

  • go-blog

    A simple dynamic blog built with Golang and Gin. Backend only.

  • So... I finally finished the Gin hello world! I put all my source code to GitHub and hopefully I will be updating it. Clone it if you found something useful or just to play around!
