Go is a general purpose programming language. Write what you like in it.

I totally get that but just trying to get an understanding of the ecosystem around Go, is what I described something Go is being used for in the industry?

Sure, I've built back end web apps in Go. It's a great fit as it's really fast, got great tooling around http and networking, and is easy to write and understand.

But, really, you could say that about a lot of languages. Why don't you try it out and see how it feels for you?
