Workshop: [SOLD OUT] Go Microservices
Location:
- Marina
 
When:
- Thursday
 
Prerequisites
This workshop is sold out.
Go is a lovely little programming language that just might be the perfect choice for building microservices. In this didactic workshop, we will first identify the defining characteristics and challenges of a microservice architecture, and then build a production-grade microservice in Go with Go kit, addressing all of the concerns. Special attention is paid to producing clean, testable, maintainable code, leveraging idiomatic Go patterns and best practices. Participants will leave with a strong understanding of the microservice problem domain, and significant hands-on experience with Go-based solutions that may be immediately implemented.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn to leverage all of the advantages of microservices
 - Identify and guard against the dangers of microservices before they become outages
 - Level up your Go proficiency from an expert
 - Arm yourself with technical arguments and examples to promote Go in your organization
