Hands-On Go : Microservices With Protocol Buffers & gRPC

About this course

This course is designed to help learners understand and implement Protocol Buffers (protobuf) and gRPC using the Go programming language on microservice architecture.The course is structured in a step-by-step manner, starting with an introduction to protobuf, its style guide, and course file structure. You will learn the theory behind various aspects of protobuf such as scalar types, repeated enum comments, protobuf JSON, nested message type, package, any, oneof, map, and schema evolution.The course also covers the implementation of gRPC and its integration with protobuf. You will learn how to manage the gRPC repository using github, gRPC status, error handling, resiliency server, timeout, retry, and circuit breaker. Additionally, the course covers the implementation of metadata server and client, server interceptor, client interceptor, and gRPC-REST gateway.Throughout the course, you will work on various hands-on codes that involve creating a banking application using gRPC and protobuf, as well as using PostgreSQL database and Go Object Relational Mapper (ORM) to works with database. By the end of this course, you will have the skills and knowledge required to create microservices using gRPC and protobuf with the Go programming language.Requirements (must-have):Basic knowledge of the Go programming languageFamiliarity with git commands (push, pull, pull request, merge, branch)Tools:Go programming languageProtocol Buffers (protobuf)gRPCGithubVisual Studio Code (or any editor you like)The course delivered in lab-style teaching, where you are assigned with a task tobe solved. There will be a guidance for each task so you can try hands-on. If you stuck, you can jump to the full solution.The course contains 130+ lectures, which cover the following topics:Introduction to protobuf<
