Best Practices for Cloud-Native Go Services
summary
Practical checklist for moving Go services from hello world to production: use golangci-lint and go-critic plus pre-commit hooks and CI for automated linting and security checks; add net/http/pprof handlers to profile CPU, memory and goroutines; emit logs, metrics and distributed traces via OpenCensus-style instrumentation; implement health and readiness endpoints, graceful shutdown, panic recovery and semantic version info in the binary; build small images with multi-stage Docker and prefer modules or vendored deps.
