Inter-Service Communication with Go

Communication is simple if you know the right way

DESCRIPTION 

This book will cover different concepts of inter-service communication. They will be demonstrated through the Go programming language, its standard library, and popular third-party packages for concepts.

Begin by understanding basic concepts such as clients, servers, and communication methods. Explore RESTful APIs and HTTP, the backbone of many systems. Learn about protocol buffers and gRPC for efficient data exchange. For asynchronous communication, discover message queuing with RabbitMQ and event-driven patterns with Redis. Lastly, explore event-driven architecture (EDA) and Apache Kafka for implementing this style of communication.

After reading this book, a reader can determine which communication concept is most suitable for the software solution based on software solution requirements.

● Implement different communication approaches with the Go programming language.

● Utilize implementations from the Go's standard library and third-party packages.

● Use API design best practices.

● Avoid issues that can arise from the wrong choice of communication concept.
