Learning Functional Programming in Go

Go is ideal for building microservices

Distributed computing involves the horizontal scaling our our microservices. We have seen that when we can dramatically improve performance by running our tasks in parallel.  In order to manage, order and orchestrate our workloads we need a simple mechanism.   What simpler solution exists for creating and running applications concurrently? (Answer: None.)

Here're some of Go's features that make it ideal for microservice environments:

• Simplicity
• Concurrency
• Speed at compile time
• Speed at runtime
• Security
• Networking/gRPC/Protocol buffers
• Systems programming
• Small footprint  

Go is built upon the philosophy of simplicity. To write go code is to write practical code. 

Concurrency is baked into the Go language ...
