Implementing cursor pagination in Golang: Go Fiber, MySQL, GORM from scratch | REST API WITH GO

In this tutorial, we’ll be building a REST API with Go Fiber, MySQL, and GORM from scratch. We’ll be focusing on implementing cursor pagination, which is a powerful and efficient way to retrieve large amounts of data from a database. This is just the beginning, as in the upcoming videos we’ll continue to add more functionality to the app, dockerize it, and even learn how to use Kubernetes with Go. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced Go developer, this video series will provide you with a solid foundation in web development with Go and show you how to build a scalable, production-ready REST API.
