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.

Migration strategy

In the previous section, we saw a few reasons why people might want to migrate to Go. This section talks about formulating a strategy for such a migration of existing code to Go.

Phase 1 – Learning Go

The first step is to ensure that all developers understand Go. In most projects, there will be at least a few developers who are not experienced Go programmers. By understand, I mean not just the theoretical part, but actually trying out various programming constructs to get a feel for the language. https://tour.golang.org/ is a good start. Effective Go (https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html) is another good resource for learning about the language. Besides an introduction, it also talks about best...
