REST is an architectural  style that tackles the challenges of building scalable web services.  APIs provide the fabric through which systems interact, and REST has  become synonymous with APIs. The depth, breadth, and ease of use of Go,  make it a breeze for developers to work with it to build robust Web  APIs. This course will teach you to build a RESTful web server. You will  learn to add routing and handle requests, thus making your APIs more  RESTful. Later, by testing and profiling your code you will ensure it  runs correctly and behaves well at scale. Moving on with security, you  will learn to log requests and outcomes of API calls and speed up  performance using the Echo framework. By the end of this course, you  will have the knowledge you need to start building your own  enterprise-grade RESTful web services that are production-ready, secure,  scalable, and reliable.
