Go Programming Language Tutorial (Part 9)
This tutorial delves into building distributed systems, implementing networking protocols, developing
blockchain-based applications, and fine-tuning CI/CD pipelines for Go projects.
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"net/http"
"sync"
)
func main() {
store := &Store{data: make(map[string]string)}
2. Networking Protocols
Implementing a Custom Protocol
Create a simple TCP-based chat application.
Server Example
go
Copy code
package main
import (
"bufio"
"fmt"
"net"
"strings"
)
func main() {
listener, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":8080")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer listener.Close()
for {
conn, err := listener.Accept()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Connection error:", err)
continue
}
go handleConnection(conn)
}
}
for {
message, err := reader.ReadString('\n')
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Connection closed")
return
}
message = strings.TrimSpace(message)
fmt.Printf("Received: %s\n", message)
conn.Write([]byte("Echo: " + message + "\n"))
}
}
Client Example
go
Copy code
package main
import (
"bufio"
"fmt"
"net"
"os"
)
func main() {
conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", "localhost:8080")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer conn.Close()
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
for {
fmt.Print("Enter message: ")
scanner.Scan()
message := scanner.Text()
response, _ := bufio.NewReader(conn).ReadString('\n')
fmt.Println("Server response:", response)
}
}
3. Blockchain Development
Go’s efficiency and concurrency model make it ideal for blockchain development.
import (
"crypto/sha256"
"encoding/hex"
"fmt"
)
Blockchain Logic
go
Copy code
type Blockchain struct {
chain []Block
}
func main() {
bc := NewBlockchain()
bc.AddBlock("First block", "2024-01-02T00:00:00Z")
bc.AddBlock("Second block", "2024-01-03T00:00:00Z")
4. CI/CD Optimization
Optimizing GitHub Actions for Go Projects
Example Workflow
yaml
Copy code
name: Go CI/CD Pipeline
on:
push:
branches:
- main
jobs:
test:
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 ./...
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: test
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up Go
uses: actions/setup-go@v3
with:
go-version: 1.19
- name: Build Application
run: go build -o myapp
- name: Archive Build
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
with:
name: myapp
path: ./myapp
import (
"context"
"log"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/jaeger"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/resource"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace"
)
tp := trace.NewTracerProvider(
trace.WithBatcher(exp),
trace.WithResource(resource.Default()),
)
otel.SetTracerProvider(tp)
return tp
}
func main() {
tp := initTracer()
defer func() { _ = tp.Shutdown(context.Background()) }()
tracer := otel.Tracer("example-tracer")
ctx, span := tracer.Start(context.Background(), "example-operation")
log.Println("Running traced operation...")
span.End()
}
6. Further Exploration
1. Implementing GRPC Protocols:
• Use protobuf and grpc-go to define and implement APIs for distributed systems.
2. Building Fault-Tolerant Systems:
• Use libraries like Hystrix for circuit breaking.
3. Exploring DLTs:
• Dive deeper into Go-based blockchain platforms like Tendermint or Hyperledger
Fabric.
This tutorial prepares you for building distributed systems, implementing efficient networking
protocols, experimenting with blockchain development, and enhancing CI/CD pipelines. Continue
