Go (Golang) and Kubernetes: Building Scalable Microservices

This book is an ideal guide for developers who want to master the Go (Golang) language and learn how to build modern, scalable applications for Kubernetes. If you are already familiar with the basics of programming but want to level up and understand how cloud technologies work, this material is for you.

What is this book about?

The book is structured as a practical course. You will start with the basics of Go syntax, parallel computing, and networking. Then you will smoothly transition to containerization with Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes. Each chapter contains real code examples that can be immediately applied in projects.

• Part 1: Go Basics — data types, functions, interfaces, goroutines, channels, working with HTTP and databases.
• Part 2: Containerization — creating Docker images, optimizing layers, multi-stage builds, security.
• Part 3: Kubernetes — deploying pods, services, ConfigMaps, secrets, horizontal scaling.
• Part 4: Advanced Topics — operators, custom controllers, monitoring with Prometheus, CI/CD pipelines.

Who is this book for?

• Python, Java, or C++ developers looking to learn Go for cloud projects.
• DevOps engineers who want to automate the deployment of Go applications.
• Students and junior developers aiming to enter the world of microservices and Kubernetes.
• Tech leads planning to migrate legacy systems to a modern architecture.

What will you learn?

• How to write efficient and secure Go code from scratch.
• How to package an application into a minimal Docker image.
• How to set up a Kubernetes cluster for production workloads.
• How to implement service mesh, health checks, and graceful shutdown.
• How to integrate Go services with databases, queues, and APIs.
• How to automate testing and deployment using GitHub Actions and Helm.

Why should you buy it?

The book is written by a practicing developer with 10 years of experience. All examples are tested on real projects. You will receive ready-made code templates, checklists for cluster setup, and links to repositories with complete projects. After reading, you will be able to independently build a production-ready system on Go and Kubernetes.
