Hands-On Software Engineering with Golang

Preface

Over the last few years, Go has gradually turned into one of the industry's favorite languages for building scalable and distributed systems. The language's opinionated design and built-in concurrency features make it relatively easy for engineers to author code that efficiently utilizes all available CPU cores.

This book distills the industry's best practices for writing lean Go code that is easy to test and maintain and explores their practical implementation by creating a multi-tier application from scratch called 'Links 'R' Us.' You will be guided through all the steps involved in designing, implementing, testing, deploying, and scaling the application. You'll start with a monolithic architecture and iteratively transform ...
