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 9. Continuous Delivery

In the previous three chapters, you learned about modern container technologies and cloud environments, how to create container images from your application (or, more precisely, the MyEvents application), and how to deploy them into these environments.

In this chapter, you will learn how to adopt continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) for anjhalocvhurty your application. CI describes a practice in which you continuously build and verify your software project (ideally, on each and every change made to your software). CD extends this approach by also continually deploying your application in very short release cycles (in this case, of course, into a cloud environment).

Both of these approaches require a high degree of automation to work reliably, both concerning your application's build and deployment processes. In previous chapters, we have already looked at how you can use container technologies to deploy your application. Since technologies...
