A web application framework is a must whenever we are developing an application because it significantly speeds up and simplifies our work by eliminating the need to write a lot of repetitive code and providing features such as models, APIs, and other elements. Using an application framework, we can enjoy the perks of its architecture pattern and boost the development of an application.
A popular type of web application framework is Model-View-Controller (MVC) and there are many MVC frameworks available for Go, such as Revel, Utron, and Beego.

We will start with creating the project and then move on to creating controllers, views, and filters. We will also look at implementing caching, and monitoring and deploying an application.
