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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about what Docker is and how to use it. Building applications is one part of the puzzle, but packaging them to be deployed in a cloud environment requires developers to understand Docker and how to build Docker images for their applications. We looked at how Docker stores images on your local machine and also inspected the state of the running container.

We learned that when containers are running, there is a lot of information generated that can help us to understand what’s going on with the container and also the parameters used to run our application. We also learned about the Dockerfile and used it to package our sample application into a container to run it as a single Docker image.

In the next chapter, we will use the knowledge we gained in this chapter by deploying our images to a cloud environment.
