• Response Helpers: Includes utilities for consistent JSON responses and error reporting.
• Middleware: Illustrates essential middleware for logging, authentication, and CORS.
• Request Validation: Shows how to validate incoming JSON payloads using struct tags.
• Use Case: When starting a new Go microservice that exposes a CRUD API for user data, use these patterns to quickly set up secure, well-structured endpoints.
