This article is part of a series of articles on GO development on Google Cloud. Read the first part to learn about project creation on Google App Engine, and the second part to learn about how to implement a basic REST service to run on App Engine environment.

This article is part two of a series of articles on GO development on Google Cloud. Read part one here! 

Now that we've covered the basics of project creation on Google App Engine, it's time to get a REST service up and running on it. In order to accomplish that, we will be using the following tools:

1. Google Cloud Datastore - Datastore is a NoSQL document database built for automatic scaling, high performance, and ease of application development. The documentation can be found here.
2. Gin - Gin is an HTTP web framework written in Go (Golang) and features a Martini-like API with much better performance. The documentation can be found here.
