Hands-On Software Architecture with Golang

By: Jyotiswarup Raiturkar

Overview of this book

Building software requires careful planning and architectural considerations; Golang was developed with a fresh perspective on building next-generation applications on the cloud with distributed and concurrent computing concerns. Hands-On Software Architecture with Golang starts with a brief introduction to architectural elements, Go, and a case study to demonstrate architectural principles. You'll then move on to look at code-level aspects such as modularity, class design, and constructs specific to Golang and implementation of design patterns. As you make your way through the chapters, you'll explore the core objectives of architecture such as effectively managing complexity, scalability, and reliability of software systems. You'll also work through creating distributed systems and their communication before moving on to modeling and scaling of data. In the concluding chapters, you'll learn to deploy architectures and plan the migration of applications from other languages. By the end of this book, you will have gained insight into various design and architectural patterns, which will enable you to create robust, scalable architecture using Golang.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at why having a plan is important when building big. We reviewed various design paradigms and key aspects of Golang. The discussion of these topics here was focused and very condensed. For more insights, I strongly recommend reading Clean Architecture: A Craftsman's Guide to Software Structure and Design by Robert C. Martin and A tour of Go (https://tour.golang.org/welcome/1).

In the next chapter, we will look at the problem statement of the case study that we will be working on for the rest of this book. At the end of each section of the book, we will apply whatever we learned in the section's chapters to build solutions for specific aspects of the case study.
