This updated course teaches you how to build production-level services in Go, leveraging the power of Kubernetes.

From the beginning of the course, you will pair-program with your instructor Bill Kennedy as he walks you through the design philosophies, architectural decisions, and best practices as they apply to engineering a production-ready Go service.

With each new feature that is added to the service, you will learn how to deploy and manage the Kubernetes environment used to run the service. Throughout the class, the code being worked on is pushed to a repository for personal access and review.

This class teaches how to build production-level services in Go with a focus on macro-level engineering decisions. From the beginning you will pair program with the instructor, walking through the design philosophies and guidelines used to engineer the code.

About the Author: Ardan Labs

Ardan Labs thumbnail

Ardan Labs is a US training company founded by William Kennedy, focused almost entirely on Go (Golang) and the systems-engineering disciplines around it. Bill Kennedy is one of the most cited Go educators alive — co-author of Go in Action (Manning), maintainer of the Ardan Labs blog, and the lead instructor on a multi-track Go syllabus that runs from beginner through ultimate-Go advanced engineering.

The CourseFlix listing under this source carries nineteen Ardan Labs courses — covering Go language fundamentals, concurrency, advanced engineering patterns, Kubernetes (Bill teaches Go as the implementation language for cloud infrastructure), and the data-engineering / AI tracks Ardan added in recent years. Material is paid and aimed at engineers serious about Go as a career-defining language rather than as a syntax pickup.
