Keynote: You Want To Build a Web Service?
summary
Live‑codes a minimal Go “starter kit” that proves production basics: project layout with command/internal packages, dependency management via go mod, config as tagged structs with defaults plus env and flag overrides, and no hidden globals. Adds human logs, embedded build info using -ldflags, runtime metrics and debug endpoints via pprof and expvar (debug on :4000, API on :3000), and graceful shutdown using http.Server.Shutdown with a shutdown signal channel and error‑type signaling. The demo builds, shows help, and serves debug endpoints successfully.
