Beginner’s Guide to Building a Food Delivery App with Go and Gin

Go is a high-level programming language created by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson. Introduced in 2009, it was designed to address modern software engineering challenges and is widely used for scalable services. This beginner project uses Go, Gin and GORM to build a food delivery application. The stack includes HTML templates, Bootstrap 5, HTMX or Alpine.js, PostgreSQL or MySQL, JWT and session authentication, plus local or cloud-based image uploads. The proposed structure separates configuration, handlers, models, repositories, services, middleware and utilities. It also includes templates, static assets and database migrations, making it a practical foundation for learning how to organise a Go web application.
