Go for Modern Backend Engineering: From Programming and Concurrency to Distributed Systems, System Design, Cloud-Native Applications & Production Engineering

Build the skills needed to design, develop, and operate modern backend systems with Go.Go for Modern Backend Engineering provides a practical path from Go programming fundamentals to the engineering principles behind scalable, distributed, and cloud-native backend applications.The book explores Go programming, concurrency, interfaces, error handling, APIs, databases, microservices, distributed systems, system design, cloud-native architectures, testing, observability, and production engineering. It connects language fundamentals with the architectural and operational concepts developers encounter when building real-world backend systems.You'll learn how to: - Build robust backend services with Go- Work effectively with goroutines, channels, and concurrent systems- Design REST APIs and service-oriented applications- Work with databases and persistent data- Understand microservices and event-driven architectures- Apply distributed-systems concepts to backend engineering- Approach system design and scalability- Build cloud-native Go applications- Implement testing, reliability, observability, and production practices- Apply these concepts to realistic backend engineering projectsDesigned for students, developers, software engineers, and professionals who want to strengthen their backend engineering skills, this book connects Go programming with the broader engineering practices required to build scalable and reliable systems.
