Develop high-quality command-line tools that utilize the powerful shell capabilities and perform well using Go’s in-built concurrency mechanisms
Build microservices for larger organizations using the Go Kit library
Implement a modern document database as well as high-throughput messaging queue technology to put together an architecture that is truly ready to scale
Write concurrent programs and gracefully manage the execution of them and communication by smartly using channels
Get a feel for app deployment using Docker and Google App Engine
In Detail
Go is the language of the Internet age, and the latest version of Go comes with major architectural changes. Implementation of the language, runtime, and libraries has changed significantly. The compiler and runtime are now written entirely in Go. The garbage collector is now concurrent and provides dramatically lower pause times by running in parallel with other Go routines when possible.
This book will show you how to leverage all the latest features and much more. This book shows you how to build powerful systems and drops you into real-world situations. You will learn to develop high-quality command-line tools that utilize the powerful shell capabilities and perform well using Go’s in-built concurrency mechanisms. Scale, performance, and high availability lie at the heart of our projects, and the lessons learned throughout this book will arm you with everything you need to build world-class solutions. You will get a feel for app deployment using Docker and Google App Engine. Each project could form the basis of a start-up, which means they are directly applicable to modern software markets.
Style and approach
This book provides fun projects that involve building applications from scratch. These projects will teach you to build chat applications, a distributed system, and a recommendation system.
