I will build a fast and scalable rest API backend in golang


About this gig
A backend that just works fast, typed, and maintainable.
I build clean, idiomatic Go REST APIs: standard library net/http or a lightweight router (Chi / Gin), proper context propagation, and goroutine-safe handlers. No spaghetti, no shortcuts.
WHAT YOU GET
RESTful endpoints with typed JSON payloads and clear error codes
PostgreSQL (pgx) or Turso (libsql) with clean schema design
JWT authentication, role-based access, middleware and validation
Documented endpoint reference ready for your frontend team
Secrets handled right: .env ignored, .env.example committed, no hardcoded keys
WHY GO?
Single small binary, blazing performance, and code your next developer can actually read. Perfect behind a web app, mobile app, or SaaS product.
PACKAGES
Basic a focused endpoint set
Standard full CRUD API with auth and database
Premium production backend with tests, Docker and deployment
Message me with your data model or app idea before ordering I'll map it to the right package with an honest timeline.

FAQ
Can you connect the API to my existing frontend or mobile app?
Yes — I match the endpoints to your client's exact needs and document every route (payloads, responses, errors) so integration is straightforward.
Which database do you use?
PostgreSQL for most projects, or Turso (SQLite/libsql) for lightweight and edge deployments. If you already have a database, I'll work with your schema.
Do you write tests and set up deployment?
Premium includes tests, a Dockerfile and deployment with environment setup. Standard delivers a runnable, documented API.
Can you migrate my Node.js/PHP API to Go?
Yes — send me your current API and I'll quote a migration. Endpoint-compatible rewrites are my favorite kind of project.
What do you need from me to start?
Your entities/data model (even a rough sketch), what your app needs to do, and any existing frontend contracts. Message me first and we'll plan it.
