Full-Stack Web Development with Go

By: Nanik Tolaram, Nick Glynn

Overview of this book

Go is a modern programming language with capabilities to enable high-performance app development. With its growing web framework ecosystem, Go is a preferred choice for building complete web apps. This practical guide will enable you to take your Go skills to the next level building full stack apps. This book walks you through creating and developing a complete modern web service from auth, middleware, server-side rendering, databases, and modern frontend frameworks and Go-powered APIs. You’ll start by structuring the app and important aspects such as networking, before integrating all the different parts together to build a complete web product. Next, you’ll learn how to build and ship a complete product by starting with the fundamental building blocks of creating a Go backend. You’ll apply best practices for cookies, APIs, and security, and level up your skills with the fastest growing frontend framework, Vue. Once your full stack application is ready, you’ll understand how to push the app to production and be prepared to serve customers and share it with the world. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to build and ship secure, scalable, and complete products and how to combine Golang with existing products using best practices.

Running images as containers

In this section, we will look at running Docker images as containers and examine the different information that we can see when a container is running.

Start by running a database Docker image and look at what information we can get about the state of the container. Open the terminal window and run the following command to run Redis locally. Redis is an open source memory-based data store used to store data. Since data is stored in memory, it is fast compared to storing on disk. The command will run Redis, listening on port 7777:

docker run -p 7777:7777  -v /home/user/Downloads/redis-7.0-rc3/data:/data redis --port 7777

Make sure you change the /home/user/Downloads/redis-7.0-rc3/data directory to your own local directory, as Docker will use this to store the Redis data file.

You will see the following message when the container is up and running:

1:C 05 May 2022 11:20:08.723 # oO0OoO0OoO0Oo Redis is starting oO0OoO0OoO0Oo
