Microservices Development with Go

Modern software engineering relies on scalable, distributed systems, and Go is the language of choice for building fast, reliable microservices. This text-based course guides you through the journey of designing and developing lightweight microservices from scratch. You will transition from writing simple Go scripts to structuring robust microservices that communicate efficiently and handle real-world traffic. Through clear written explanations and step-by-step code walkthroughs, you will gain the confidence to build independent, maintainable backend services. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of microservices architecture and service boundaries. - Build RESTful APIs and handle serialization using Go standard libraries and modern packages. - Implement efficient inter-service communication using gRPC and protocol buffers. - Manage application configuration and structured logging for better observability. - Connect microservices to databases securely using modern Go database drivers. - Package and containerize Go services for consistent deployment across environments. The course begins with essential microservices terminology and foundational Go concepts, before guiding you through API design, communication patterns, and containerization. This text-only program is designed for backend developers, software engineers, and curious beginners looking to transition to distributed systems without any prior microservices experience.
