Go Programming Language Tutorial (Part 6)

This tutorial dives into building event-driven systems using message brokers, leveraging serverless
computing, and advanced techniques for debugging and monitoring production systems.

1. Event-Driven Architectures
Event-driven architectures decouple services, improving scalability and fault tolerance. Services
communicate by producing and consuming events.

Using RabbitMQ
Install RabbitMQ Client Library
bash
Copy code
go get github.com/streadway/amqp

Producer Example
go
Copy code
package main

import (
"github.com/streadway/amqp"
"log"
)

func failOnError(err error, msg string) {


if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("%s: %s", msg, err)
}
}

func main() {
conn, err := amqp.Dial("amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/")
failOnError(err, "Failed to connect to RabbitMQ")
defer conn.Close()

ch, err := conn.Channel()


failOnError(err, "Failed to open a channel")
defer ch.Close()

q, err := ch.QueueDeclare(
"hello", // name
false, // durable
false, // delete when unused
false, // exclusive
false, // no-wait
nil, // arguments
)
failOnError(err, "Failed to declare a queue")

body := "Hello, RabbitMQ!"


err = ch.Publish(
"", // exchange
q.Name, // routing key
false, // mandatory
false, // immediate
amqp.Publishing{
ContentType: "text/plain",
Body: []byte(body),
})
failOnError(err, "Failed to publish a message")
log.Printf(" [x] Sent %s", body)
}

Consumer Example
go
Copy code
package main

import (
"github.com/streadway/amqp"
"log"
)

func failOnError(err error, msg string) {


if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("%s: %s", msg, err)
}
}

func main() {
conn, err := amqp.Dial("amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/")
failOnError(err, "Failed to connect to RabbitMQ")
defer conn.Close()

ch, err := conn.Channel()


failOnError(err, "Failed to open a channel")
defer ch.Close()

q, err := ch.QueueDeclare(
"hello", // name
false, // durable
false, // delete when unused
false, // exclusive
false, // no-wait
nil, // arguments
)
failOnError(err, "Failed to declare a queue")

msgs, err := ch.Consume(


q.Name, // queue
"", // consumer
true, // auto-ack
false, // exclusive
false, // no-local
false, // no-wait
nil, // args
)
failOnError(err, "Failed to register a consumer")

forever := make(chan bool)


go func() {
for d := range msgs {
log.Printf("Received a message: %s", d.Body)
}
}()
log.Println(" [*] Waiting for messages. To exit press CTRL+C")
<-forever
}

2. Serverless Applications in Go
Serverless computing removes the need to manage servers. Services like AWS Lambda and Google
Cloud Functions allow you to execute Go functions on demand.

AWS Lambda
Install AWS Lambda Go SDK
bash
Copy code
go get github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/lambda

Example Lambda Function


go
Copy code
package main

import (
"context"
"fmt"
"github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/lambda"
)

type MyEvent struct {


Name string `json:"name"`
}

func HandleRequest(ctx context.Context, event MyEvent) (string, error) {


return fmt.Sprintf("Hello, %s!", event.Name), nil
}

func main() {
lambda.Start(HandleRequest)
}
Deploying the Function
1. Build the binary for Linux:
bash
Copy code
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o main

2. Package it:
bash
Copy code
zip function.zip main

3. Upload to AWS Lambda via the AWS Console or CLI.

3. Debugging and Monitoring


Tracing with OpenTelemetry
Install OpenTelemetry
bash
Copy code
go get go.opentelemetry.io/otel
go get go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace
go get go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdouttrace

Example: Tracing Setup


go
Copy code
package main

import (
"context"
"log"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdouttrace"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace"
)

func initTracer() {
exporter, err := stdouttrace.New(stdouttrace.WithPrettyPrint())
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to initialize trace exporter: %v", err)
}
tp := trace.NewTracerProvider(trace.WithBatcher(exporter))
otel.SetTracerProvider(tp)
}

func main() {
initTracer()
tracer := otel.Tracer("example-tracer")
ctx, span := tracer.Start(context.Background(), "example-span")
log.Println("Tracing example started")
span.End()
}

Log Aggregation with ELK


1. Install and Configure ELK Stack: Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana.
2. Integrate Logs: Use log or libraries like logrus to send structured logs to Logstash.

Example:
go
Copy code
package main

import (
"github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
"os"
)

func main() {
log := logrus.New()
log.Out = os.Stdout
log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
"module": "example",
}).Info("Structured log example")
}

4. Distributed Event Streaming with Kafka


Kafka enables high-throughput distributed messaging.

Install Kafka Client


bash
Copy code
go get github.com/segmentio/kafka-go

Producer Example
go
Copy code
package main

import (
"context"
"log"
"github.com/segmentio/kafka-go"
)

func main() {
writer := kafka.NewWriter(kafka.WriterConfig{
Brokers: []string{"localhost:9092"},
Topic: "example-topic",
})
defer writer.Close()

err := writer.WriteMessages(context.Background(),
kafka.Message{
Key: []byte("Key-A"),
Value: []byte("Hello, Kafka!"),
},
)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("Failed to write message:", err)
}
log.Println("Message written successfully")
}

Consumer Example
go
Copy code
package main

import (
"context"
"log"
"github.com/segmentio/kafka-go"
)

func main() {
reader := kafka.NewReader(kafka.ReaderConfig{
Brokers: []string{"localhost:9092"},
Topic: "example-topic",
GroupID: "example-group",
})
defer reader.Close()

for {
msg, err := reader.ReadMessage(context.Background())
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("Failed to read message:", err)
}
log.Printf("Received message: %s\n", string(msg.Value))
}
}

5. CI/CD for Go Applications


Automate builds, tests, and deployments with CI/CD pipelines.

GitHub Actions
Create a .github/workflows/go.yml file:
yaml
Copy code
name: Go CI

on:
push:
branches:
- main

jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up Go
uses: actions/setup-go@v3
with:
go-version: 1.19
- name: Install dependencies
run: go mod tidy
- name: Run tests
run: go test ./...
- name: Build
run: go build -o myapp
