Overview of this book

Go is an open source programming language that is designed to scale and support concurrency at the language level. This gives you the liberty to write large concurrent web applications with ease. From creating web application to deploying them on Amazon Cloud Services, this book will be your one-stop guide to learn web development in Go. The Go Web Development Cookbook teaches you how to create REST services, write microservices, and deploy Go Docker containers. Whether you are new to programming or a professional developer, this book will help get you up to speed with web development in Go. We will focus on writing modular code in Go; in-depth informative examples build the base, one step at a time. You will learn how to create a server, work with static files, SQL, NoSQL databases, and Beego. You will also learn how to create and secure REST services, and create and deploy Go web application and Go Docker containers on Amazon Cloud Services. By the end of the book, you will be able to apply the skills you've gained in Go to create and explore web applications in any domain.

Running a web application Docker container linked with a MySQL Docker container on a user-defined bridge network

In this recipe, we will learn how to run a Go web application Docker image to create a container which will communicate with the MYSQL database instance running in a separate Docker container.

As we know Docker does not support automatic service discovery on the default bridge network, we will be using the user-defined network that we created in one of our previous recipes to run a Go web application Docker image.

How to do it...

Execute the docker run command to create a web application Docker container from the web-application-image, assigning the container name as web-application-container using the --name flag...
