Go Software Stack: Integrating Go with Docker, REST APIs, SQL/NoSQL, and Microservices

Build Full-Stack, Scalable Applications with Go

The Go Software Stack is your complete guide to integrating the power of Go with modern back-end tools and technologies-from RESTful APIs to databases, containers, and microservices. Whether you're building enterprise-grade systems or lightweight cloud services, this book shows you how to design and implement production-ready apps using the entire Go ecosystem.

Designed for developers who want to go beyond syntax and build real-world software, this book brings together practical patterns, best practices, and integrations that modern teams rely on.

• Build robust REST APIs with Go's net/http, mux, and gin

• Connect and manage data with SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB)

• Structure scalable Go microservices using clean architecture

• Containerize applications with Docker for development and deployment

• Implement service discovery, logging, health checks, and monitoring

• Use environment variables and config files for secure, flexible setup

• Secure your APIs with JWTs, OAuth, and middleware

• Communicate across services with HTTP, gRPC, and message queues

• Deploy Go apps to cloud environments or Kubernetes clusters

• Design maintainable, testable, and idiomatic Go codebases

This is the missing manual for building serious applications with Go-from first request to final deployment.

Modern systems need modern stacks. Go is ready. Are you?
