Book Description:
This book covers the key benefits and common issues of microservices,
helping you understand the problems microservice architecture helps to
solve, the issues it usually introduces, and the ways to tackle them.
You'll start by learning about the importance of using the right
principles and standards in order to achieve the key benefits of
microservice architecture. The following chapters will explain why the
Go programming language is one of the most popular languages for
microservice development and lay down the foundations for the next
chapters of the book. You'll explore the foundational aspects of Go
microservice development including service scaffolding, service
discovery, data serialization, synchronous and asynchronous
communication, deployment, and testing. After covering the development
aspects, you'll progress to maintenance and reliability topics. The last
part focuses on more advanced topics of Go microservice development
including system reliability, observability, maintainability, and
scalability. In this part, you'll dive into the best practices and
examples which illustrate how to apply the key ideas to existing
applications, using the services scaffolded in the previous part as
examples.
By the end of this book, you'll have gained hands-on experience with
everything you need to develop scalable, reliable and performant
microservices using Go.
