Joshua B. Humphries
Joshua Humphries (jhump on GitHub) has been working with Protocol Buffers and building RPC systems and related facilities for over six years. He was first introduced to Protocol Buffers and Stubby (gRPCs forebearer) while working at Google. Afterward, he led a team that worked on protobuf-based RPC at Square, including smart clients in Java, Go, and Ruby that handled service discovery, load balancing, automatic retries, and automatic geographic failover. Joshua has been an advocate of gRPC since its initial release. He continues his work with Protocol Buffers and gRPC as part of an infrastructure team at FullStory, a customer experience management platform. He is a contributor to the Go open-source projects for gRPC and Protocol Buffers, the author of a Go library for Protocol Buffer reflection named protoreflect, and the author of gRPC-related projects open-sourced by FullStory, including grpcurl.

David Konsumer
David Konsumer (konsumer on GitHub, davidkonsumer on Twitter) has been working with open-source for about 20 years, with a strong focus on JavaScript. Before working with Node.js, he used PHP and Python to accomplish his daily programming tasks. He worked at NodeSource, to make N|Solid, Plex, Janrain, and Intel on the App Developer Program website. He also did lots of agency, freelance, and contract work, mostly for the web and cloud-based backend work. He taught programming classes at Free Geek, Portland. David is an advocate for accessible programming and the idea that everyone can learn to code, and it should be easy enough to get cool stuff done. He made grpcnode, node-protoc-plugin, and json2x, useful tools for getting things done with gRPC/protobuf in Node.js. David currently works as Lead of Engineering at Gummicube, an app-store optimization company based in San Jose, running the development department in Portland, OR.

REST is an architectural style that tackles the challenges of building scalable web services and in today's connected world, APIs have taken a central role on the web. APIs provide the fabric through which systems interact, and REST has become synonymous with APIs. The depth, breadth, and ease of use of Go, makes it a breeze for developers to work with it to build robust Web APIs. This book takes you through the design of RESTful web services and leverages a framework like Gin to implement these services
