Have you applied the REST architectural style when developing your services?

Yes, when developing services in Go, I used the REST architectural style. This involved creating an API where each resource is represented by a unique URL, and operations on them correspond to HTTP methods: GET for retrieving data, POST for creating, PUT/PATCH for updating, and DELETE for deleting. This approach simplifies interaction between client and server and ensures scalability.
An example of a simple REST endpoint in Go using net/http:
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"net/http"
)
type User struct {
ID int `json:"id"`
Name string `json:"name"`
}
func getUser(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
user := User{ID: 1, Name: "Ivan"}
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(user)
}
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/user", getUser)
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
In this example, a GET request to /user returns a JSON with user data.
