How do I deploy a web server using Go?

To deploy a web server using Go, you can use the built-in "net/http" package. First, create a simple server with a handler.

Can you show me a basic code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
)

func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, World!")
}

func main() {
    http.HandleFunc("/", handler)
    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}

This code sets up a web server that responds with "Hello, World!".

What do I need to do to run this code?

You need to have Go installed on your machine. Save the code in a file named main.go, then run go run main.go in your terminal.

How can I deploy it to a cloud service?

You can deploy it to services like Heroku, AWS, or DigitalOcean. Each has its own deployment steps, but generally, you'll need to push your code to their platform and configure the environment.
