Pros of using the Orchestrator Pattern with Golang ■ It’s relatively easy to implement and maintain because all coordination is in one place. […]
Go’s small application binary sizes are a perfect fit for the microservices deployment strategies that Docker and Kubernetes excel at delivering. Golang applications and containers are made for each other. This synergy is not without its challenges, though. It’s important to understand container best practices and key concepts to avoid security pitfalls that can easily […]
