About this ebook

Discover practical techniques to build cloud-native apps that are scalable, reliable, and always available.Key FeaturesBuild well-designed and secure microservices. Enrich your microservices with continous integration and monitoring.Containerize your application with DockerDeploy your application to AWS. Learn how to utilize the powerful AWS services from within your applicationBook Description

Awarded as one of the best books of all time by BookAuthority, Cloud Native Programming with Golang will take you on a journey into the world of microservices and cloud computing with the help of Go.

Cloud computing and microservices are two very important concepts in modern software architecture. They represent key skills that ambitious software engineers need to acquire in order to design and build software applications capable of performing and scaling. Go is a modern cross-platform programming language that is very powerful yet simple; it is an excellent choice for microservices and cloud applications. Go is gaining more and more popularity, and becoming a very attractive skill.

This book starts by covering the software architectural patterns of cloud applications, as well as practical concepts regarding how to scale, distribute, and deploy those applications. You will also learn how to build a JavaScript-based front-end for your application, using TypeScript and React. From there, we dive into commercial cloud offerings by covering AWS. Finally, we conclude our book by providing some overviews of other concepts and technologies that you can explore, to move from where the book leaves off.

What you will learnUnderstand modern software applications architecturesBuild secure microservices that can effectively communicate with other servicesGet to know about event-driven architectures by diving into message queues such as Kafka, Rabbitmq, and AWS SQS.Understand key modern database technologies such as MongoDB, and Amazon’s DynamoDBLeverage the power of containersExplore Amazon cloud services fundamentals Know how to utilize the power of the Go language to access key services in the Amazon cloud such as S3, SQS, DynamoDB and more.Build front-end applications using ReactJS with GoImplement CD for modern applications Who this book is for

This book is for developers who want to begin building secure, resilient, robust, and scalable Go applications that are cloud native. Some knowledge of the Go programming language should be sufficient.To build the front-end application, you will also need some knowledge of JavaScript programming.
