Hosting Your Sites Using Golang

Virtual web hosting allows you to run your own websites. Using Golang alone, you can create your own web server without the need for additional software like Apache HTTPD or Nginx.

Host your own static HTML and Javascript website, or a fully active backend webservice! You will even get tips and tricks on how to do this in a scaled application.

Here are a few points we'll be covering with this informative session:
- Apache HTTPD and Nginx
- CGI with Perl, Python, and PHP
- Webservices with SOAP and REST
- Dealing with high volumes and load balancing

This talk will culminate with a code walk-through and demonstration of hosting your own sites using native Go functionality.

Whether you're a newcomer to Go or aspiring to delve into web application development using our favorite language, this session promises to be both enlightening and practical. Don't miss out on learning and taking your Go development skills to the next level!
