Building Scalable Microservices with Go and AWS
Building Scalable Microservices with Go and AWS In my experience working with fintech startups and enterprise applications, I’ve learned that building scalable microservices requires careful consideration of architecture, technology choices, and operational practices. Why Go for Microservices? Go has become my go-to language for microservices development for several key reasons: Performance: Go’s compiled nature and efficient goroutines provide excellent performance Concurrency: Built-in concurrency primitives make handling multiple requests effortless Simplicity: Clean syntax and minimal abstractions lead to maintainable code Fast Compilation: Quick build times accelerate the development cycle Architecture Patterns 1. Hexagonal Architecture I’ve found hexagonal architecture (ports and adapters) particularly effective for microservices. It helps maintain clean separation between business logic and external dependencies. ...
