How to write and use benchmarks? I hope we understand their importance so let’s see couple of thoughts about benchmarks in GoLang:

Tips, tricks and good advices about a memory management in GoLang in the “Allocation Efficiency in High-Performance Go Services” article by the Segment company. You’ll know:
- best way to use pointers in code;
- memory allocation complexity in heap and stack;
- Slice memory-optimisation tricks;
- and more 😉

Are you a beginner in GoLang? Then it requires your attention 🙂.
Good and simple for understanding article about microservice-based API development; just simple and work solution with code examples and couple of advices

GoLang 1.10 Release notes has been added!

Go 1.10 is not yet released. These are work-in-progress release notes. Go 1.10 is expected to be released in February 2018.

This release:
- caching of built packages;
- adds caching of successful test results;
- runs vet automatically during tests;
- permits passing string values directly between Go and C using cgo.

In the GoLang we use interfaces everywhere. But we also should understand the rules and idioms how GoLang interfaces works. Let’s read about them 😉; part one:

Everybody use dependencies and third-party packages but what is the best way to use it? GopherAcademy helps to understand best practice for the vendor folder organization. Of course, code examples and theory points are included 🙂

Interesting step-by-step guide about design and development API with Docker containers, Swarm cluster and Traefik (HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer).

In this article you’ll know how to configure the Traefik in the Docker environment with 3 following nodes: one manager and two workers

Here is a must-read article about memory management in the GoLang about the following important points:
- stack, heap and the data segment explanation;
- escape analysis;
- garbage collector;
And good performance optimization advices 😉

Great article about the architecture inside of Golang microservice, based on the Bob's Clean Architecture Concept (https://8thlight.com/blog/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html)

Main points: Your GoLang microservice has 4 layers:
- Models, data structures, and their methods;
- Repository, the provider of DB operations and data management,
- Usecase for business logic implementation;
- Delivery, protocol, and algorithms for message handling (HTTP, gRPC, etc).

Each layer should be independent and be available for mocking, for internal communications between application layers.

An example project here: https://github.com/bxcodec/go-clean-arch
