In the past ten years microservice architecture has become a widely used pattern for creating web-based applications. Go was created to suite this particular need. Its vibrant community, fast compilation, ease of use, and statically-linked builds make it one of the best tools for the job.
Widely used across well established companies such as Google and Netflix, microservice architecture has become popular because of its simplicity and the ability to split large and complex tasks, into smaller easily manageable ones. This course teaches you the basic concepts of microservice design by introducing you to a wide variety of scenarios and tools. From handling simple http requests to managing asynchronous operations on the backend, Go is the language in which microservices are thriving. No wonder that some of the most popular tools used in the Cloud Native movement, such as Kubernetes, Docker, Vault, and Terraform are using Go as their language of choice.
