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.

The product

We will be building parts of an e-commerce website that deals with travel. Examples of real world-related products include Booking.com and Expedia. The site will be a marketplace: the company will not own any inventory; rather, it is a place where travel-product sellers and buyers will connect. Let's start detailing the requirements by starting out with listing the actors involved.

Actors

The website will deal the following types of people:

  • Customers: Those who want to consume travel-related items (flight tickets, hotels, cabs, and so on).
  • Sellers: Those who bring inventory to the marketplace. For the case study, we will assume that the sellers give us an API to pull data off and do our bookings.
