Interfaces 101 : Extensible API Handlers

Episode 10! We've made it to the final episode in the series. -- Watch and learn how you can write a HTTP handler that is extendable with middleware. - In this video, Miki will build an HTTP server with one endpoint to display the health of his server. The first step he took was to define a HTTP handler to illustrate how a Go handler becomes a `HandlerFunc`. Next, Miki will design a function signature for middleware with the goal of abstracting input and output as much as possible. Miki will then define a logging middleware that measures the time of a request.

Things you will learn in this video :
- Define a route with Go’s http package.
- The ideal design for a middleware function.
- How to implement an HTTP server with composability in mind.
- Define logging middleware with Go’s STD library.
