Overview of this book

Awarded as one of the best books of all time by BookAuthority, Cloud Native Programming with Golang will take you on a journey into the world of microservices and cloud computing with the help of Go. Cloud computing and microservices are two very important concepts in modern software architecture. They represent key skills that ambitious software engineers need to acquire in order to design and build software applications capable of performing and scaling. Go is a modern cross-platform programming language that is very powerful yet simple; it is an excellent choice for microservices and cloud applications. Go is gaining more and more popularity, and becoming a very attractive skill. This book starts by covering the software architectural patterns of cloud applications, as well as practical concepts regarding how to scale, distribute, and deploy those applications. You will also learn how to build a JavaScript-based front-end for your application, using TypeScript and React. From there, we dive into commercial cloud offerings by covering AWS. Finally, we conclude our book by providing some overviews of other concepts and technologies that you can explore, to move from where the book leaves off.

Summary


In this chapter, we have given you a glimpse into frontend development with React. Of course, we have only scratched the surface of what is possible with the React framework. In an actual real-world application, we would still need to add quite a lot of features for the frontend application to be actually complete (for example, we would need to add some trivial things, such as a user sign-up and a more sophisticated checkout process).

Up until now, we have spent most of our time doing actual programming, both in the backend with Go and in the frontend with TypeScript. However, there is more to do with software development than just programming. Over the next few chapters, we will concern ourselves with the deployment of our application. This will include both the backend services (such as the Event and booking services built in previous chapters), but also persistence and messaging services (such as databases or message queues). For this, we will take a look at modern container technologies...
