What is Cityplan API

Cityplan API was a team project and also my first project developing an API. There was a lot of consideration before picking the language and database we are going to use, since we are working with a heavy computation server and a big dataset. In the end we decided to develop the API using Go and PostgreSQL. As a JavaScript developer going back to statically typed language was somehow a weird experience. But as the concept take shape, I found that the main difference was just the nature of writing code where JavaScript tends to be implicit and Go is more explicit.

What it taught me

Some takeaways I learned by doing this project:

• Creating API using Go
• CORS for API
• PostgreSQL
