Web Development in Go: Middleware, Templating, Databases & Beyond

This is the next installment of our series by Ayooluwa Isaiah that explains features in Go so developers can compare them to Ruby or whatever other language.

In the previous article in this series, we had an extensive discussion on the Go net/http package and how it can be used for production-ready web applications. We focused mostly on the routing aspect and other quirks and features of the http.ServeMux type.

This article will close out the discussion on ServeMux by demonstrating how middleware functions can be implemented with the default router and introducing other standard library packages that are sure to come in handy when developing web services with Go. https://www.honeybadger.io/blog/ruby-to-go-4/
