  • Containerize your application with Docker
  • Deploy your application to AWS. Learn how to utilize the powerful AWS services from within your application

Book Description

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..

The book will take you on a journey into the world of microservices and cloud computing with the help of Go. It will start 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 the reader can explore to move from where the book leaves off.

What you will learn

  • Understand modern software applications architectures
  • Build secure microservices that can effectively communicate with other services
  • Get 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 DynamoDB
  • Leverage the power of containers
  • Explore 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 Go
  • Implement CD for modern applications

I don't usually write reviews. The book has potential and the material covered generally good. However the code in the book are all code snippets, it has no coherence and flow to it. Super confusing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but too many mistakes
Reviewed in Germany on February 24, 2019

The book is generally well written and helpful. It uses a "real live" project to explain how modern modern software development in a microservices architecture works. In addition to Golang, the book uses a state-of-the-art tech stack (MongoDB and DynamoDB, RabbitMQ and Kafka, ...) and DevOps approach (Docker, AWS, ...). I would consider myself on a beginner to intermediate level regarding Golang and could understand everything in the book without problems. However, as the book progresses, there are more and more mistakes in the listings. With growing complexity of the software, this becomes very confusing when comparing the text/listings in the book with the (mostly correct) code download from github. Also, in some places, the book would profit from a bit more background and outlook (e.g. structs are used as containers, but have only 1 variable in them...other variables are added in later sections of the book, but this is not mentioned and thus the motivation for using the struct remains unclear at first). All in all, I can recommend the book to those who want a good "full stack" introduction and overview into building a very modern web app.

Je suis encore en lecture mais ce livre est un véritable combo de techno et aborde clairement l'articulation entre chacune d'entre elles.
Affaire à suivre, je viendrai certainement compléter ce commentaire en fin de lecture.

3.0 out of 5 stars To read with a critical mind
Reviewed in France on March 14, 2020

Just finished the third chapter, it's good so far. It's not for complete beginners, but still it includes some much appreciated golang features refreshers.
I've read comments complaining about the code, well, if you are not a complete beginner you'll figure it out pretty easily.
So far it's a 5 stars for me, I'll update my note later...

-- UPDATE --
I read 80% of the book.
Many mistakes in the code (that, we already knew), but also some bad practices in the architecture. But again, you'll spot them if you are not a complete beginner and read the book with a critical mind.
I've seen no tests so far, and it's not covering at all the subscription and authentication of user, which I think is pretty important. No mention of caches like Redis either, ...
Also the book needs an update on the tool used. Not using go mods, for example.
