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 explored cloud solutions provided by AWS, and we briefly looked at the different services offered, such as EC2, VPC, storage, and others. We learned about the open source Terraform tools that make it easy to create, manage, and destroy cloud infrastructure in AWS.

We learned how to install and use Terraform locally, and how to write Terraform code to use Docker as a provider, allowing us to run containers locally. Terraform also allows us to download, run, and destroy containers locally with a single command.

We also explored different Terraform examples for creating AWS infrastructure resources and looked at one of the advanced features of AWS ECS.

In this last chapter of the book, you have learned the different things that need to be done to deploy an application to the AWS cloud.
