Overview of this book

Building software requires careful planning and architectural considerations; Golang was developed with a fresh perspective on building next-generation applications on the cloud with distributed and concurrent computing concerns. Hands-On Software Architecture with Golang starts with a brief introduction to architectural elements, Go, and a case study to demonstrate architectural principles. You'll then move on to look at code-level aspects such as modularity, class design, and constructs specific to Golang and implementation of design patterns. As you make your way through the chapters, you'll explore the core objectives of architecture such as effectively managing complexity, scalability, and reliability of software systems. You'll also work through creating distributed systems and their communication before moving on to modeling and scaling of data. In the concluding chapters, you'll learn to deploy architectures and plan the migration of applications from other languages. By the end of this book, you will have gained insight into various design and architectural patterns, which will enable you to create robust, scalable architecture using Golang.

Testing

There are two critical aspects that affect the testability of a good application:

  • Writing code that can be tested easily
  • Having self-contained, easily reproducible tests

The first part is about structuring code so that the code business logic is isolated from dependencies such as external services, and so on. This allows mocking the dependencies about these boundaries to allow the test cases to exercise the execution flow along various interesting paths. For example, consider you are writing the flight search feature on a travel marketplace. There are two aspects to this:

  • Obtaining prices for a sector from various providers
  • Running some business logic to filter and sort the results

Now, it may not be possible to get various error scenarios reliably reproduced by making direct calls to the provider. Also, it might be expensive (and insecure) to give API keys to...
