A curated list of awesome Go frameworks, libraries and software

A big part of programming is about making choices:

- What data type do I use? A map, a slice, something more fancy?
- Do I implement this using recursion or a loop?
- Should I pass a value or a pointer?
- How to determine the best choice?

One way is to measure performance using benchmarks.

Go has built-in support for benchmarking in the testing package.

In this article you’ll see how benchmarks are structured, what to keep in mind when writing them and how to execute them.

In the end we’ll also look at a real-world inspired example repository.

As a developer, you can't envision all of the possible inputs your programs or functions could receive. Even though you can define the major edge cases, you still can't predict how your program will behave in the case of some weird unexpected input. In other words, you can only find bugs you expect to find.

That's where fuzz testing or fuzzing comes to the rescue.

What does it mean to keep security in mind when writing Go code? Answering this question in one short article seems impossible. For this reason, we will narrow it down to a few specific practices.
