In this project-based course we'll build a complete REST API in Go from scratch and ship it to the cloud ready for receiving real traffic and handle scale affordably.
This journey will start from building a simple TCP server with the goal of exploring the net/http package in Go. The goal with this material is that you get the foundational knowledge to build and reason about backend systems in general, not just tutorial videos.

This post introduces a comprehensive backend engineering course in Go, designed to take learners from basic to advanced topics. The course aims to teach how to build RESTful APIs and other backend systems, applying the knowledge to microservices as well. The curriculum includes 21 modules, covering areas such as TCP and HTTP server development, routing, clean layered architecture, database management using the repository pattern, CRUD operations, user authentication and authorization, caching, performance optimization, and CI/CD deployment workflows. The course materials and code are available on GitHub, and the instructor emphasizes understanding concepts over mere code replication.
