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.

Cloud Deployment

In this chapter, we will learn about cloud deployment, specifically using AWS as the cloud provider. We will look at some of the infrastructure services provided by AWS and how to use them. We will learn about using and writing code for creating the different AWS infrastructure services using an open source tool called Terraform. Understanding the cloud and how cloud deployment works has become a necessity for developers nowadays rather than an exception. Gaining a good understanding of the different aspects of cloud deployment will allow you to think outside the box about how your application should run in the cloud.

Upon completion of this chapter, we will have learned about the following key topics:

  • Learning basic AWS infrastructure
  • Understanding and using Terraform
  • Writing Terraform for local and cloud deployment
  • Deploying to AWS Elastic Container Service

The end goal of this chapter is to provide you with some knowledge about the...
