Go Web Development Cookbook

By: Arpit Aggarwal

Overview of this book

Go is an open source programming language that is designed to scale and support concurrency at the language level. This gives you the liberty to write large concurrent web applications with ease. From creating web application to deploying them on Amazon Cloud Services, this book will be your one-stop guide to learn web development in Go. The Go Web Development Cookbook teaches you how to create REST services, write microservices, and deploy Go Docker containers. Whether you are new to programming or a professional developer, this book will help get you up to speed with web development in Go. We will focus on writing modular code in Go; in-depth informative examples build the base, one step at a time. You will learn how to create a server, work with static files, SQL, NoSQL databases, and Beego. You will also learn how to create and secure REST services, and create and deploy Go web application and Go Docker containers on Amazon Cloud Services. By the end of the book, you will be able to apply the skills you've gained in Go to create and explore web applications in any domain.

Serving static files over HTTP

While designing web applications, it’s always a best practice to serve static resources, such as .js, .css, and images from the filesystem, or any content delivery network (CDN), such as Akamai or Amazon CloudFront, rather than serving it from the web server. This is because all these types of files are static and do not need to be processed; so why should we put extra load on the server? Moreover, it helps to boost application performance, as all the requests for the static files will be served from external sources and therefore reduce the load on the server.

Go's net/http package is sufficient enough for serving static resources from the filesystem through FileServer, which we will be covering in this recipe.
