This comprehensive Golang Microservices course is designed to help developers build scalable, maintainable, and production-ready distributed systems using Go. The course covers essential architectural patterns including Domain-Driven Design (DDD), clean project layout, repository pattern, dependency injection, and service layer design.
You will learn how to integrate PostgreSQL using multiple approaches such as sqlx, pgx, gorm, sqlboiler, sqlc, and squirrel. The course also explores caching strategies with Memcached and Redis to improve performance and reduce database load.
A strong focus is placed on building robust REST APIs, including HTTP handlers, testing strategies, request validation, versioning, custom JSON types, and API documentation using OpenAPI/Swagger. Error handling best practices and graceful shutdown techniques ensure your services are resilient.
Advanced topics include observability with OpenTelemetry, configuration management with environment variables and Vault, and containerization using Docker.
You will also implement asynchronous communication using RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka, and Redis Pub/Sub, along with search and pagination using Elasticsearch.
By the end of this course, you will have the skills to design, build, deploy, and monitor modern Go microservices in real-world environments.
