How to structure Go projects

New developers who come with Python/Ruby experience look for familiar framework concepts that fit their mental picture of how a web application should be structured. For some reason the same concepts do not resonate with Go. How to structure Go projects blog post shows that DDD (Domain-Driven Design) flavored approach is endorsed according to talks given at GopherCons.

Kafka for Gophers slides

Kafka for Gophers presentation provides an overview of how to achieve reliable data delivery with Apache Kafka in Go. If you've ever felt uneasy about what might happen with your service when a message is lost or written more than once, you should read "Kafka: The Definitive Guide" book. When it comes to choose a Go library to work with Kafka, the decision could be tough. I would recommend to check out https://github.com/segmentio/kafka-go.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Golangflow

Hello,

Just a friendly reminder as the maintainer of this site, that our twitter integration is offline as Google recently discontinued the Google link service. We are transitioning to Firebase Dynamic links later this week. Also, posts will start to be moderated to ensure we deliver relevant and useful content to our Golang readers.

Thank you

Any questions email: feedback @ golangflow.io

Generis, a versatile code generator adding generics, free-form macros, conditional compilation, HTML templating and Allman style conversion to the Go language

Just to inform you that I’ve just released a first version of Generis, a lightweight code preprocessor adding the following features to the Go language :

  • Generics.
  • Free-form macros.
  • Conditional compilation.
  • HTML templating.
  • Allman style conversion.

https://github.com/senselogic/GENERIS

It’s similar in function to both Ego and Genny, but implemented as a free-form C++ like preprocessor.

Sample :

package main;

// -- IMPORTS

    "html"
    "io"
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "strconv"

    type {{name}}Stack struct

    func ( stack * {{name}}Stack ) IsEmpty(
        ) bool
    {
        return len( stack.ElementArray ) == 0;
    }

    // -- OPERATIONS

    func ( stack * {{name}}Stack ) Push(
        element {{type}}
        )
    {
        stack.ElementArray = append( stack.ElementArray, element );
    }

    // ~~

    func ( stack * {{name}}Stack ) Pop(
        ) {{type}}
    {
        local
            element : {{type}};

        element = stack.ElementArray[ len( stack.ElementArray ) - 1 ];

        stack.ElementArray = stack.ElementArray[ : len( stack.ElementArray ) - 1 ];

        return element;
    }

txeh: Go library and CLI utilty for /etc/hosts management. @cjimti

txeh is a golang library and command line utility for working with /etc/hosts.

A computer's /etc/hosts file is a powerful utility for developers and system administrators to create localized, custom DNS entries. This small go library and utility were developed to encapsulate the complexity of working with /etc/hosts directly by providing a simple interface for adding and removing entries in a /etc/hosts file.

Manage test dependencies with Go

Analogue to testing that a window can be opened in a house, you don't want to spend time building the house first. Instead you want to say: I need a house with a window and then you test the opening functionality. This is the approach we took with our framework for setting up objects to be tested using recipes, ingredients and special preparation (if needed).

Store and interact with go structs efficiently in Redis using go-rejson #redis #go #json

https://github.com/nitishm/go-rejson

Instead of saving structs as json strings, use redislabs' ReJSON module with Redis Server to interact natively with JSON objects

ReJSON is a Redis module that implements ECMA-404 The JSON Data Interchange Standard as a native data type. It allows storing, updating and fetching JSON values from Redis keys (documents).

Go-ReJSON is the only go client library that supports both redigo and go-redis clients, and plans to support more redis Go clients in the future.

PRs are welcome !

An HTTP server implementation of vegeta, a load-testing tool, written in Go. #golang #load-testing #programming

I am looking for contributors to help me out with my latest project.

I am creating an HTTP server implementation, driven by a REST API, for the https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta load testing tool. Currently it is only available as a CLI tool. However, there is an excellent library provided by the author, which is used by the CLI tool.

The idea is to create a tool, using vegeta, which is similar to https://github.com/loadimpact/k6 or https://github.com/locustio/locust complete with a UI (frontend). This makes it possible to use this tool in a more distributed manner, and possibly introduce it as a kubernetes native load-testing tool.

The project is available at https://github.com/nitishm/vegeta-server and currently supports submitting/viewing/canceling attacks (all options are not implemented, yet) and viewing the attack reports.

Issues are tagged with appropriate labels.
