About this item
The Complete Guide to Building Cloud-Based Services Cloud Native Go shows developers how to build massive cloud applications that meet the insatiable demands of today's customers, and will dynamically scale to handle virtually any volume of data, traffic, or users. Kevin Hoffman and Dan Nemeth describe the modern cloud-native application in detail, illuminating factors, disciplines, and habits associated with rapid, reliable cloud-native development. They also introduce Go, a "simply elegant" high-performance language that is especially well-suited for cloud development. You'll walk through creating microservices in Go, adding front-end web components using ReactJS and Flux, and mastering advanced Go-based cloud-native techniques. Hoffman and Nemeth show how to build a continuous delivery pipeline with tools like Wercker, Docker, and Dockerhub; automatically push apps to leading platforms; and systematically monitor app performance in production.
About the Author
I have always had an insatiable desire to build - when I was a kid I started building things with my hands and tools, but once I discovered that I could create whole worlds and fantastic adventures within those worlds, I was hooked on writing. Today I have been able to put my desire to build to work by writing software, which pays the bills enough to let me keep writing books and building rich worlds.
I can occasionally be found off-roading on the trails of New England in a custom-built, armored Jeep that I call the "Zombie Killer".
