As software engineers most of the time we are focusing on delivering the task that is given to us. If someone asks us to do a hello world API we can do it in 4, maybe 5 lines of Go code, but would that code be production ready? What does production ready code actually looks like? In this talk we are going to implement a “hello world” API, but focusing on all the aspects that would make this code production-ready, including documentation, logging, error handling, configuration, naming, code organization, testing and others.

I’ll start with a bit of theory and then progress to do a live coding session starting from the 5 liner hello-world code and step-by-step progress to something that is more production ready. I can adapt the content to take anything from 25 to 45 minutes.
