REST API Development with Go and MongoDB

Modern web development demands fast, efficient, and scalable backend systems. Building REST APIs with Go and MongoDB provides a powerful, type-safe, and highly performant combination for handling modern data workloads. This text-based course guides you through the entire process of designing and implementing a clean, structured REST API. You will start with the fundamental concepts of HTTP methods and database connections before moving on to writing clean, production-ready Go code. What you will learn: Understand the core concepts of RESTful architecture and Go backend development; Configure and establish secure connections to MongoDB using the official Go driver; Create robust CRUD endpoints with proper routing; Manage data serialization and deserialization using Go structs and BSON tags; Implement structured error handling and input validation; Write unit tests to verify your API endpoints. You will begin with basic terminology and setup, gradually advancing to structured project layout, routing, database integration, and testing. This course is designed for beginner developers, software engineers transitioning to Go, or anyone looking to build solid backend services. No prior experience with Go or MongoDB is required.
