Move beyond basic programming to design and build reliable software with clean code

What is this book about?

This book distills the industry’s best practices for writing lean Go code that is easy to test and maintain and explores their practical application on Links ‘R’ US: an example project that crawls web-pages and applies the PageRank algorithm to assign an importance score to each one.

This book covers the following exciting features:

  • Understand different stages of the software development life cycle and the role of a software engineer
  • Create APIs using gRPC and leverage the middleware offered by the gRPC ecosystem
  • Discover various approaches to managing package dependencies for your projects
  • Build an end-to-end project from scratch and explore different strategies for scaling it
  • Develop a graph processing system and extend it to run in a distributed manner
  • Deploy Go services on Kubernetes and monitor their health using Prometheus

Get to Know the Author

Achilleas Anagnostopoulos has been writing code in a multitude of programming languages since the mid 90s. His main interest lies in building scalable, microservice-based distributed systems where components are interconnected via gRPC or message queues. Achilleas has over 4 years of experience building production-grade systems using Go and occasionally enjoys pushing the language to its limits through his experimental gopher-os project: a 64-bit kernel written entirely in Go. He is currently a member of the Juju team at Canonical, contributing to one of the largest open source Go code bases in existence.
