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.

Endpoints

In the API model, whenever a service needs something, it makes a network call to a known endpoint with a request and gets a response back. The service making the call is frequently called the client, and the other is the server. It should be noted that a service can be (and is frequently) both a client and a server in the context of different interactions.

Networking basics

To enable communication over a network, a set of rules for data exchanges is imperative. Such rules are typically standardized through protocols and grouped into various layers—each layer of the communication stack dealing with a specific charter. The following diagram depicts the traditional networking layers and related protocols:
