Hands-On Microservices with Go

Go from monolith to microservices in Go for robust application architecture

Learn

Build, deploy, secure, scale, and monitor web services built with Go´s standard library
Move from a monolithic architecture to a microservices architecture
Architect your microservices application as it grows to handle multiple clients
Implement in your Go services complex microservices architecture patterns like API gateways, rate limiters, circuit breakers
Different approaches that can be taken when extracting microservices from a monolith
Deploy your services with Docker
Secure your application and deal with authentication in your microservices

About

Has your system gotten so complex that it has become difficult to manage? Before things get out of hand, you should consider re-architecting your applications. Microservices are a proven way to grow and expand an application or an application suite.

If you're already a Go developer, this course will take you through all the key topics regarding microservice development, including how to secure your service,; how to test your service performance; proven recipes for scaling the different components of your service, patterns for making your applications more resilient; and also how to monitor your services.

The topics in this course are treated in a very practical example-driven way and include working examples that clearly illustrate the topic at hand.

You will dive into common operational and infrastructural concerns and will see how microservices addresses them. We will also cover architectural topics such as how to break your monolith into microservices, and microservices architecture patterns like API gateways, circuit breakers, and the saga pattern.

By the end of the course, you will be able to build performant and scalable web services in Go and understand the different ways you can architect an application using microservices.
