Modern systems demand a lot from the storage systems. There is a need to scale storage systems in terms of queries per second (QPS), the number of concurrent connections, the size of the data, and so on. Also, many applications need ultra-fast requests for a few use cases. While relational systems have, and continue to provide, a reliable persistence technology, the traditional scale-up approach, that is, using better hardware equipment, is not able to keep up with requirements. It is extremely difficult to provide ACID semantics in distributed systems, making scale-out for relational databases a difficult task. Note that there are mechanisms such as distributed transactions, but using them is very complex and they generally lead to very fragile systems. Joins are particularly inefficient in distributed databases. In single-instance databases, joins are efficiently...

Hands-On Software Architecture with Golang

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.
