Most Go import paths start with github.com. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could use your own domain name there?
Sometimes, we need external services for our tests in order to test the integration. Traditionally, these are run somewhere on the Internet. What if we were to run them dynamically in a container?
When working on microservices or any network-related code retries are a must. Go has a few neat features that help with creating an easy-to-use retry library.
Sometimes, when reviewing code, you come across a huge spaghetti of sadness. You’d love to refactor it, but it is just a list of steps that need to be executed in order.
Processing items in a queue in parallel is one of the trickier subjects in programming. You don’t want to overload your systems, but you also want to maximize speed. Go has some unique tools to deal with it.
Go creates a single, statically linked binary. This makes it extremely easy to distribute applications. How do we add static resources, such as text files, images, and the likes, to our application without losing that advantage?
On the surface, Go doesn’t look like an object-oriented language. However, if we look deeper, OOP is not only possible, but an effective way to organize code.
Last year I wrote two blog posts about the programming language Go. This is the follow-up after having written over 20,000 lines of Go code.
Are you thinking of using Microservices? Here’s something you may not know: TCP connections can break entirely silently.
