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.

Apache Kafka deep dive

Apache Kafka is a streaming-messaging platform that was first built at LinkedIn but is now a first-class Apache project. It offers seamless durable distribution of messages over a cluster of brokers, and the distribution can scale with load. It is increasingly used in place of traditional message brokers, such as AMQP, because of its higher throughput, simpler architecture, load-balancing semantics, and integration options.

Concepts

In Kafka, topic is a formal name for queues where messages are published to and consumed from. Topics in Kafka offer the virtual topic queuing model described previously, that is, where there are multiple logical subscribers, each will get a copy of the message, but a logical...
