Hands-On Go : Microservices With Protocol Buffers & gRPC

Protocol buffers (protobuf) & gRPC implementation using Go programming language (Golang) on microservice architecture

Created by: Timotius Pamungkas
Java Software Engineer, Architect

What Will I Learn?

• What is Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) and how to use it for data communication
• Protocol Buffers Schema Definition : data types, list, syntax, etc
• Protocol Buffers Schema Evolution
• Implement Protocol Buffers with Go programming language
• Implement 4 types of gRPC API using Golang : unary, server streaming, client streaming, and bi-directional
• Use PostgreSQL database with gorm : Go Object Relational Mapping (ORM)
• Use Hexagon Software Architecture (Port & Adapters) to build bank application on top of gRPC API with Golang
• Building resilient gRPC : using timeout / deadline, retry, and circuit breaker
• gRPC error handling, status codes, metadata, interceptor
• gRPC - REST API gateway
• Generate OpenAPI documentation for gRPC API

Requirements

• Basic Go programming language is required. This is NOT a fundamental Go course. You need to know about Go syntax, module, and package
• Basic git and github knowledge is required : create repository, branch, pull, push, and merge. This is NOT basic git course
• Familiarity with REST API and JSON will helps, but not mandatory

Target audience

• Software engineer, technical architects, technical manager who wants to know how to implement Protocol Buffers using Go programming language
• Golang enthusiast
