Go backend development

Go backend development for APIs and reliable web services.

I use Go for backend services where clarity, concurrency and efficient runtime behavior matter. I can build a new API, add a Go service to an existing product or implement a focused backend module.

When it fits

A strong fit for APIs, SaaS backends, network-oriented services, batch processing and systems expected to grow without becoming difficult to operate.

Typical stack

Go · Gin · PostgreSQL · Redis · channels · context · JWT · OAuth · Docker · REST · testing

What I can deliver

Practical scope, clear implementation.

The exact combination depends on the project. These are the areas I can cover directly.

Go API services

Gin-based REST endpoints with validation, middleware and structured application layers.

Concurrency

Workers, channels, contexts, cancellation and controlled parallel processing where appropriate.

PostgreSQL & migrations

Schema changes, queries, transaction-aware workflows and migration tooling.

Redis

Caching, rate-limiting support and temporary state where Redis is a good fit.

Authentication & middleware

JWT flows, role checks, request context and common API middleware.

Docker & tests

Containerized workflows and tests around important service behavior.

Process

From scope to working delivery.

1

Model the service

Define boundaries, data ownership, routes and expected workload.

2

Build the core

Implement handlers, application logic, storage and concurrency where needed.

3

Operationalize

Add configuration, migrations, tests and deployment-oriented packaging.

Pricing

FAQ

Common questions

Can you add Go to an existing product?+

Yes. A Go service can be introduced for a focused responsibility without rewriting the rest of the product.

Do you use Gin?+

Yes. I use Gin for HTTP APIs where its routing and middleware model fit the project.

Can you work with Redis and PostgreSQL together?+

Yes. PostgreSQL can hold durable product data while Redis handles cache or short-lived state where appropriate.

Can you optimize an existing Go service?+

Yes. I can review request flow, concurrency, database access and resource usage to identify practical improvements.
