Production Go Service Essentials - Elliot Williams
Effective Go service development essentials: learn how to create high-quality services with clear documentation, trunk-based development, and observability, and discover the best practices for error handling, metrics, and logging.
- Effective documentation: Provide clear documentation of your service, including the codebase, configurations, and dependencies.
- Trunk-based development: Merge small, incremental changes to the main branch, reducing the need for complex testing and debugging.
- Metrics and logging: Log metrics and events, and use logging tools like Logress for structured logging.
- Service design: Design services as stateless, decoupled processes with clear interfaces.
- Observability: Use monitoring tools like ELK to track application performance and troubleshoot issues.
- Error handling: Handle errors and panics in a structured way, with clear logs and metrics.
- CI/CD: Use continuous integration and deployment to automate testing, building, and deployment.
- Dependency management: Manage dependencies using tools like Go Modules.
- Code quality: Write clean, testable code with a focus on maintainability.
- Application readiness: Ensure applications are production-ready before deploying to production.
- Infrastructure management: Use tools like Kubernetes to manage infrastructure, and orchestrate application deployment and scaling.
- Alerting and incident management: Set up alerting and incident management processes for critical services.
- Code reviews: Perform regular code reviews to ensure high-quality code and identify potential issues.
