Like training for a marathon, building production-grade APIs requires the right tools, proper technique, and a solid game plan. In this session, we'll sprint through building robust RESTful APIs with Go, from fundamentals to deployment on major cloud platforms.

We'll explore:
- Go fundamentals: structs, interfaces, and goroutines for high-performance APIs
- Essential Go packages for API development: Gin, GORM, and JWT authentication
- Building RESTful endpoints with proper error handling and validation
- Database integration and middleware implementation
- Cloud deployment strategies for both Azure and AWS
- Performance monitoring and scaling techniques

Through live demonstrations, you'll see how Go's simplicity and performance make it an excellent choice for modern API development. We'll build a complete API from scratch and deploy it to both Azure and AWS, highlighting the strengths of each platform.

Target Audience:
- Backend developers interested in Go
- API architects evaluating technology choices
- DevOps engineers handling cloud deployments

Prerequisites:
- Basic understanding of REST principles
- Familiarity with any programming language
- Basic knowledge of cloud concepts

What Attendees Will Learn:
- Go language fundamentals for API development
- Best practices for structuring Go API projects
- Techniques for secure and scalable API design
- Multi-cloud deployment strategies
- Performance optimization and monitoring approaches
