Overview of this book

Mastering Go, now in its fourth edition, remains the go-to resource for real-world Go development. This comprehensive guide delves into advanced Go concepts, including RESTful servers, and Go memory management. This edition brings new chapters on Go Generics and fuzzy Testing, and an enriched exploration of efficiency and performance. As you work your way through the chapters, you will gain confidence and a deep understanding of advanced Go topics, including concurrency and the operation of the Garbage Collector, using Go with Docker, writing powerful command-line utilities, working with JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data, and interacting with databases. You will be engaged in real-world exercises, build network servers, and develop robust command-line utilities. With in-depth chapters on RESTful services, the WebSocket protocol, and Go internals, you are going to master Go's nuances, optimization, and observability. You will also elevate your skills in efficiency, performance, and advanced testing. With the help of Mastering Go, you will become an expert Go programmer by building Go systems and implementing advanced Go techniques in your projects.

Working with eBPF

BPF stands for Berkeley Packet Filter and eBPF for Extended BPF. BPF was introduced back in 1992 to improve the performance of packet capture tools. Back in 2013, Alexei Starovoitov did a major rewrite of BPF that was included in the Linux kernel in 2014 and replaced BPF. With this rewrite, BPF, which is now called eBPF, became more versatile and can be used for a variety of tasks other than network packet capture.

eBPF software can be programmed in BCC, bpftrace, or using LLVM. The LLVM compiler can compile BPF programs into BPF bytecode using a supported programming language such as C or the LLVM intermediate representation. As both ways are difficult to program because of the use of low-level code, using BCC or bpftrace makes things simpler for the developer.

What is eBPF?

It is really difficult to describe precisely what eBPF can do because it has so many capabilities. It is much easier to describe how we can use eBPF. eBPF can be used in three main...
