AWS API Gateway and Go: Building Scalable Serverless APIs

Connecting backend Go services to the cloud requires a secure, reliable, and highly scalable entry point. AWS API Gateway acts as that front door, managing traffic and securing your endpoints so you can focus on writing robust Go code. By taking this course, you will progress from understanding core API concepts to deploying, managing, and securing production-ready serverless endpoints. What you'll learn: - Understand core API Gateway concepts, resource routing, and integration types. - Build serverless Go applications optimized for AWS Lambda and API Gateway. - Configure authentication, authorization, and secure API keys to protect your endpoints. - Apply rate limiting, throttling, and caching strategies to manage high-traffic Go backends. - Set up structured logging, metrics, and tracing using AWS CloudWatch to monitor API performance. - Deploy your API configurations safely using modern infrastructure-as-code principles. You will start with the fundamental terminology of API architecture before diving into step-by-step written tutorials on connecting Go handlers, managing CORS, and handling errors elegantly. Designed for Go developers new to AWS and cloud beginners looking to build scalable web APIs, this course requires only basic programming knowledge to get started.
