Creating a microservice for the 1st time with go

Transcript

1. Creating a microservice for the 1st time with go Henrique Vicente
2. Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software. golang.org Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson started sketching the goals for a new language on the white board on September 21, 2007.
3. Go is a programming language designed by Google to help solve Google's problems, and Google has big problems. https://talks.golang.org/2012/splash.article
5. An attempt to combine the ease of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language with the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language.
6. Influenced by • C family (basic syntax) • Pascal / Modula / Oberon family (declarations, packages) • Newsqueak, Limbo (concurrency) • Unix
7. Design • Multi-value returns • No exception handling. Pleasant error handling.
 http://blog.golang.org/error-handling-and-go • Gourotines instead of threads • Object-oriented? Yes and no.
 No type hierarchy. Interfaces. • No pointer arithmetic for safety:
 no memory illegal address risk • Garbage collected
10. Quality tools • go fmt • go lint • go vet • go test • go tool cover
11. go get github.com/henvic/picel • Programming time?
13. • Package main: executable program • Others: shared libraries • Imports:
 - don’t use relative internally
 - use the path to where the repo is published • Subpackages = subdirectories
16. No official package manager • The designers of the language decided not to do it for a reason. • But what if you want to guarantee a specific package version?

17. many alternatives • godeps • gpm: https://github.com/pote/gpm
18. Building • go build • You get a single binary by default. • gox tool to build to multiple platforms easily
 or just use https://gobuilder.me/
19. The go way • Unused variable? • Unused import? • Unused?
 
 = No compiling :( … :) • Just discovered: fix it automagically :)
 http://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports
 Productivity += 1000 • godoc -http=:6000 to see the docs on your computer or use godoc.org
23. $GOPATH • Go likes to have all your src, pkg, bin inside a $GOPATH • But don’t worry. This doesn’t matter for end users of your application, given you’re release compiled binaries.
25. Useful packages, methods • fmt.Println(“like console.log”) • fmt.Sprintf(“%+v is %v old”, person, person.Age()) • flag: ./cmd -backend “https://google.com/”
 Flag: backend, value: https://google.com/ • number, err := strcov.Atoi(“2442”)
 number is 2442 (int), err is nil
26. OOP: image.Name()
 with multiple return params Code: https://goo.gl/Ma2ITn
28. “Dockerifying • Docker is built in go • We’ve a microservice that is designed to work with default options • Why not build a docker container for it?
29. Dockerfile FROM golang:onbuild MAINTAINER Henrique Vicente <henriquevicente@gmail.com> RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get install -y \ imagemagick \ webp EXPOSE 8123
30. Docker Hub Registry • Add repo for automatic building on Docker Hub Registry to have your package certified • You can install with
 docker pull henvic/picel • See also Dockerfile.dev
31. Some nice go projects srvdir
