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 docker-compose

We normally run containers using the docker command, but what if we want to run more than one container in one go? This is where docker-compose comes to the rescue. The tool allows you to configure the different containers that you want to run as a single unit. It also allows different kinds of configurations for different containers – for example, container A can communicate via the network with container B but not with container C.

The docker-compose tool that we are using in this book is v2, which is the recommended version. You can find instructions for installing the tool for different operating systems here – https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/other/.

To make it easy to run both Prometheus and Jaeger, you can use docker-compose. The docker-compose.yml file looks as follows:

version: '3.3'
services:
 jaeger:
   image: jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest
   ports:
