Using Go with Fiber and SQLite. This is also my first project regarding Go and SQL databases.
Before starting this program, you can configure the hostname and port where it will run at by editing config.json. There is also an option that decides whether SQLite uses an in memory database or a urls.db file on your disk drive.
To start without building it, you can type
go run .Alternatively, you can build and run this program by
go build

What's more, Go is faster than JS, and has a better way handling concurrency than C/C++. As a result, server built with Go is definitely faster than JavaScript and Express.
Fiber is a blazing fast web framework inspired by Express, the famous JS framework I'm familiar with. In TechEmpower Web Framework Benchmarks, Fiber won 14th place with the overall score of 830 (cloud environment). Moreover, it has a huge community support and got the most stars on GitHub among the competition.
SQLite is a convenient RDBMS that follows ACID. It doesn't need a client server model, has a tiny size, and is simple.
