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.

Clouds

Cloud computing refers to the ability to provision computing infrastructure and higher-level services for an application from an external provider over the internet. Companies offering these multi-tenant computing services are called cloud providers and typically charge on a pay-per-use basis, thus enabling delivery of infrastructure and services in a utility model.

In the spirit of service-oriented architecture, cloud computing is packaged in three broad flavors, which are described next.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Here, the cloud provider gives users direct access to computing resources such as servers, storage, and networking. Organizations use this and deploy their own technology stack of this infrastructure...
