Hello! This is my project for testing Go vs. Node.js REST API performance. This includes some data manipulations which you can expect (CRUD). I tried to maintain at least similar file structure to make easier to find the same code in the second language for newcomers.
In my tests all participants were located in Czech Republic (client and server). Tests were done macOS/localhost and on Debian 10 Buster/Nginx 1.14.

You should have already prepared server for deployment with some kind of web server like Nginx or Apache.
