Build your first scalable web service

1. Create routing.go with the following content:

   package main
   
   import (
   	"fmt"
   	"net/http"
   
   	"github.com/short-d/app/fw/router"
   	"github.com/short-d/app/fw/service"
   )
   
   func main() {
   	routes := []router.Route{
   		{
   			Method:      http.MethodGet,
   			MatchPrefix: false,
   			Path:        "/:name",
   			Handle: func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, params router.Params) {
   				name := params["name"]
   				page := fmt.Sprintf(`<h1>Hello, %s!<h1>`, name)
   				w.Write([]byte(page))
   			},
   		},
   	}
   
   	routingService := service.
   		NewRoutingBuilder("Example").
   		Routes(routes).
   		Build()
   
   	routingService.StartAndWait(8080)
   }

2. Start the service using this command:

   go run routing.go

3. That's it! You can now visit the web page at http://localhost:8080/Gopher!
