Project Tools and Setting Up the Project Database

What we’ll use

Building a scalable yet simple REST API is our goal in this course. Throughout the development process, we’ll show how fast, lightweight, and scalable Go is. We’ll learn how to create production-level REST APIs, structure codes, routing, and more. To do this, we’re going to be making use of the following technologies:

• Language: Go

• Database: MongoDB

• Framework: Gin

• Documentation: Postman

Setting up MongoDB

To do this, we’ll have to create a MongoDB account. We can do this by visiting Mongo’s website. After the account creation process is complete and we’ve signed in successfully, we’ll proceed to create our database.
