Write massively scalable, low-latency REST/JSON APIs in Go for App Engine, and have fun doing it.
Google App Engine is a treasure trove of scalable, high-performance computing that costs very little money. It just has a couple of minor inconveniences that tend to befuddle people interested in setting up a 5-minute API:
- No environment variables for app configuration, such as third-party API secrets and the like.
- A very weird and hard-to-use account system.
- No built-in support for REST/JSON APIs unless you want to use Google Cloud Endpoints, which, let's face it, most of us don't.
ori works with kami to solve those problems, so you can use App Engine's indefinite stockpile of high-performance computing and storage in your Go application with very little initial investment of effort.
