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.

Structural design patterns

In software engineering, structural design patterns help delineate clean relationships between objects and simplify design. Unlike creational patterns that we saw previously, these patterns are quite varied and represent a bouquet of recipes for various situations.

Adaptor

Many times when you code, you come across situations where you have a new requirement, and a component that almost meets that requirement. A non-software example of this situation is the power adapter: a three-legged plug from India can't be connected to a two-pronged outlet in the US. You need to use a power adapter to enable compatibility and use both entities.

In the pattern, there is an adaptor class that proxies what...
