What is go-bindata and why do we need it? go-bindata converts any text or binary file into Go source code, which is useful for embedding data into Go programs. So you can build your whole project into 1 binary file for easier delivery.
In monolithic systems, it is relatively easy to collect diagnostic data from the building blocks of a program. All modules live within one process and share common resources to report logs and errors. Once you are distributing your system into microservices, it becomes harder to...
As a Golang developer I have to clone a lot of packages/tools/etc into $GOPATH/src/github.com. Sometimes I do go get, sometimes it’s necessary to do a combination of mkdir + git clone. So to save my time I wrote a tiny function gh, that actually is the same as cd thatbut al...
