Building Cloud Native applications with Go
summary
Argues that Go is the practical choice for cloud native systems and points to concrete OSS successes: Kubernetes (written in Go, inspired by Borg) manages containers and schedules work across clusters, Prometheus (Go) provides deep monitoring for dynamic services, and Helm charts with Tiller using gRPC/protobuf enable immutable, declarative deployments. Describes adding a “construct” step to build immutable resource graphs, mounting secrets/config maps at runtime, and using static binaries and simple type-driven YAML to package, deploy and scale microservice components.
