Create A Golang Web Server with Proper Graceful Shutdown From Scratch
Learn to make your own web server in Golang. This coding walk-through will show you how to make your own web server with a proper graceful shutdown sequence.
If you want to make a simple web service without a ton of bloat, Golang is a super lightweight solution. This tutorial starts from scratch and explains how to create a web server using the httprouter Go package. As an added bonus, I explain the importance of having your server gracefully shut down to avoid disruption to your users.
