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.

Chapter 11. Migration

Welcome to chapter 11 of our journey to learn the world of cloud native programming and the Go language. In this chapter, we'll cover some practical techniques to migrate applications from monolithic architectures to microservice architectures. We have already covered monolithic and microservice architectures in Chapter 2, Building Microservices Using Rest APIs. However, we will start this chapter by covering the practical definitions of monolithic and microservice architectures, in case you are reading this chapter separately.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:

  • A review on monolithic applications and microservices architectures
  • Techniques for migrating from monolithic applications to microservices applications
  • Advanced microservices design patterns
  • Data consistency in microservices architectures
