What it does

Today I've published my first eBook on Go called "Everyday Golang" . I wanted to share the news with you, what to expect and a bit about the story behind it. If you've ever searched for "Golang unit-testing", then you may have found one of my tutorials or videos about Go. I started my journey with the language in around 2015, when I had a strong interest in contributing to and learn about Docker . As I learned, I noticed that my Go started off looking like the last language I'd used, but over time it improved. Sometimes it was not comfortable being told "Your code is not idiomatic", but it only spurred me on.

It was a good experience , but then I’ve started to think that a book that just gathered my thoughts online it’s not entirely “writing” a book , I needed more.

    I wrote a book about using Lambda with Go2021 · ▲103

    Hi HN! During the last few years, I worked on a few applications built with Go, running on AWS Lambda. As I got to know the platform better, I started to find Go & Lambda to be a really productive combination. The applications were fast, and they ended up being much cheaper to run than what my team & I had built before. It’s probably not the best platform for _every_ application, but I was surprised at how much of our workload worked well on it. As we brought new engineers on to our team and helped them get up to speed with the stack, I found that we were covering a lot of the same topics…
