Software Development with Go

Gain insights into the different challenges that can be solved using Go, with a focus on containers, Linux, security, networking, user interfaces and other relevant cloud based topics. This book reviews the necessary tools to create container-based cloud solutions with Go, a programming language that was born out of the need to address scalable, high availability cloud computing architecture needs inside Google.

Go, also known as Golang, has been adopted across different industries and products with many popular Open Source projects that power cloud computing technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes being written with Go. As the complexity of cloud technology increases, so does the need for people to understand how things work under-the-hood and to fix them when they’re broken.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

* Understand how the various components of a container-based system works
* Tackle complex technical issues using Go
* Integrate tools that can be used as part of your daily operational needs
* Build system-based products

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR

Developers and Engineers familiar with Go who want to know how different parts of the system work and who want to write command line tools. It will also be beneficial to programmers who already have a system-level understanding and want to use Go to build tools for existing projects and applications.
