Deploy a Buffalo App to Heroku from Antonio Pagano.

A lot of things have changed in the Buffalo ecosystem since my last post on how to deploy to Heroku from Gitlab.

Indeed, everything has changed since I posted how to deploy from gitlab repo into Heroku with the birth of the buffalo-heroku plugin. In this post I will try and describe how to use it to deploy your buffalo app to Heroku.

Vultr creates go client for their API

API gateway acts as a reverse proxy, routing API requests from clients to services. Usually it also performs authentication and rate limiting, so the services behind the gate don't have to. Check out short tutorials of Ambassador and Traefik that aim to tackle the problem, also there is Envoy example in https://github.com/marselester/apigate.

Ben Johnson wrote Failure is your Domain post that explores the purpose of errors for app developers (error code), operators (stack trace), end users (human-readable message). https://github.com/marselester/ddd-err is an attempt to implement those ideas using Go kit.

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 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.

Hey there,

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

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;

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.

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).

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.
