The author shows how to create a serverless REST API with Golang on AWS using SST in this example.

Requirements (Golang, Node.JS)

• Node.js >= 10.15.1 for our CDK code
• Golang 1.16 or similar for our Lambda code
• An AWS account with the AWS CLI configured locally

Golang Project layout

An SST app is made up of two parts.

1. stacks/ — Application Infrastructure
   The code that describes the infrastructure of your serverless app is placed in the stacks/ directory of your project. SST uses AWS CDK, to create the infrastructure. CDK doesn’t currently support Golang, so we’ll be using JavaScript here.
2. services/ — Application Golang Code
   The code that’s run when your API is invoked is placed in the services/ directory of your project. We’ll be using Golang for this.
