Introduction to Go Fiber (and why you should NOT use it)
In today's Golang tutorial video, we will talk about what the Go Fiber is. We will go through creating an application with Go Fiber, writing some basic rest endpoints, along with the reasons why you shouldn't use Fiber in Go programming language. Enjoy!

The lack of http2 would rarely be a problem. Usually you put these web services behind a reverse proxy that handles SSL certificates, throttling etc. Your internal services can still use http1.1. The more interesting argument is that fasthttp is a lot faster than the standard library but since normally the database is the bottleneck, you wouldn't notice that speed. Certainly worth considering. However in a microservices architecture there is a lot of communication between services where fasthttp can be leveraged (all behind a reverse proxy).

Why use http at all for internal communications. Message queues are faster and decoupled.

Not having HTTP2 will not result in compatibility issues, it HTTP1.1 is just slower but still supported by every browser, and significant amount of websites and services still exclusively use it. 6 years may seem old to web developers but for a protocol like H2 it's still rather young.

I am still looking for reference on how to use Pug in Fiber. For instance, how to use iteration described in Pug doc, because I find it only works for javascript, not Go. Does this mean, I have to modify pug code using Go syntax ? The example in Fiber doc doesn't explain this thing; it only has an example of simple interpolation.

It looks like go fiber now supports HTTP/2 as Fasthttp gained support for it. Note that as of the time I made this comment, this video was 2.5 years old.

I don't like the concept of Go Fiber. I didn't come from Node to Go just to do things the Node way. That's just my POV. But I must say the video title is misleading and it implies that there is something bad about Go Fiber (Which is not the case) I think this a little unfair to the people working on Go Fiber.

@snehanshuphukon728 2 ай бұрын

The only thing i think is similar between express and fiber is the endpoint path definition. Example how you specify method and params. The rest are quite different.

On Linux port 80 and all other ports bellow 1024 are privileged ports, so your app might not be able to start on port 80 without running it via sudo.

@alexanderwoods4625 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video! I think the "why you shouldn't use it part is a bit misleading - realistically, almost all APIs are built with some framework. I've never seen one built with the raw HTTP libraries (why would a team choose to do this? Companies want us to focus primarily on business logic, not low-level details). I think folks want performance with little development overhead. I'd be more interested in hearing why you shouldn't use Fiber compared to Gin or another Go API framework. Curious to hear if anyone disagrees with me - do any of you guys use built-in HTTP libraries to develop APIs (not just for fun)?

I think when it comes to real production application, you won't rely on reinventing the wheel (neither using println to respond requests o.o like in the example) Also readability and simplicity is one thing which you should care a lot, because you working with teamates, the more clarity in your code the better. So, I'll use any frameworks if they give me these things I've appointed

@dineyantunes4630 2 жыл бұрын

I've used both fiber and gin and also chi for some periods. They are great, which one has its own benefits, but when it comes to writting fast, simple and easy handlers to understand, gin and fiber, in my opnion, outstands

Every new project I keep on having trouble with Go modules again, right now I'm working on a Fyne app in Go but every time I try to load in a part of the framework it auto-imports parts of version 1 of the Fyne framework and it's nowhere to be found in the dependencies so Go modules and imports/dependencies are why I still don't like working with Go as much as I'd like to. I've also noticed that sometimes Goland doesn't resolve dependencies that are actually available, after restarting the IDE it picks up on them but that I guess that's an issue with the IDE. Plus the whole: - go mod init - go get package - go mod tidy workflow never seems to work consistent for me to get third party things running.
