Go Microservices in Containers
summary
Shows building a Go microservice with a Gin REST API, packaging it with a multi-stage Dockerfile and shrinking the image from 811 MB to about 7.5 MB, pushing the small image to a private registry and deploying it to a local Kubernetes cluster (minikube/Katacoda). Demonstrates CRUD endpoints, fast binary startup (seconds), and that the multi-stage/scratch or Alpine approach yields tiny, secure images that run and scale correctly on Kubernetes.
