pkgsite VS etcd

Reading the standard library will give you ideas/insight about various Go idiomatic patterns/approaches, and you can see a full website/API implementation in the pkg.go.dev repository (https://github.com/golang/pkgsite). Projects like https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd may be interesting too.

Let's look at some real codebase for an example on how to write database tests without mocking. The source code for the Go package discovery site(https://pkg.go.dev/) is available at[1] That site uses postgres as its primary database[2]. The database package has a method called GetLatestInfo[3] that fetches the latest versions of a module. That method is called from the frontend http handlers[4] via an interface[5] When it comes to testing that frontend handler, you would expect the tests to use a mock implementation of that interface method. But that's not what they do, instead they use a real postgres database in the test[6].

The code behind pkg.go.dev is also open-source and might be an interesting read.

BTW, the number of dependencies of pkgsite surprises me: https://github.com/golang/pkgsite/blob/master/go.mod

The source for Go's pkg site has been helpful to me https://github.com/golang/pkgsite

In my unpopular opinion, the go net/http is good enough to develop the web http application. The standard API is clean and well-documented. One of example is the pkgsite (https://github.com/golang/pkgsite).

It's also available as a mirror at https://github.com/golang/pkgsite. All the golang.org/x/* packages are thankfully available there, making them pretty easy to find.

sudo dnf -y install curl wget vim ETCD_RELEASE=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/etcd-io/etcd/releases/latest|grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4) echo $ETCD_RELEASE wget https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/releases/download/${ETCD_RELEASE}/etcd-${ETCD_RELEASE}-linux-amd64.tar.gz tar xvf etcd-${ETCD_RELEASE}-linux-amd64.tar.gz cd etcd-${ETCD_RELEASE}-linux-amd64 sudo mv etcd* /usr/local/bin ls /usr/local/bin /usr/local/bin/etcd --version

Failure Detection and Recovery It’s not enough to have backup systems. It’s also crucial to detect failures quickly. Modern systems employ monitoring tools and rely on distributed coordination systems such as Zookeeper or etcd to identify faults in real-time: once detected, recovery mechanisms are triggered to restore the service.

Service Discovery: Microservices need to discover and communicate with each other dynamically. Service discovery tools like etcd, Consul, or Kubernetes built-in service discovery mechanisms help locate and connect to microservices running on different nodes within the infrastructure.

APISIX uses etcd to store and synchronize configurations.

etcd is an excellent key-value distributed database used internally by Kubernetes and managed by the CNCF. It's a great option, and that's the reason why Apache APISIX uses it too. Yet, it's not devoid of issues.

Someone on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36682595) suggested etcd (https://etcd.io)

In traditional mode, APISIX stores its configuration in etcd. APISIX offers a rich API to access and update the configuration, the Admin API. In standalone mode, the configuration is just plain YAML. It's the approach for GitOps practitioners: you'd store your configuration in a Git repo, watch it via your favorite tool (e.g., Argo CD or Tekton), and the latter would propagate the changes to APISIX nodes upon changes. APISIX reloads its configuration every second or so.

I am not sure neither. But this might overcome the etcd's soft storage limit of 8GB? [1]
