Learning Go by examples: part 6 - Create a gRPC app in Go

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • kutego-api

    KuteGo is an API to play with cute Aurélie's Gophers

  • ask to KuteGo API information about the Gopher

  • gotestsum

    'go test' runner with output optimized for humans, JUnit XML for CI integration, and a summary of the test results.

  • Gotestsum, what is this new tool? Go test is not enough?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • go

    The Go programming language

  • Instead of creating a test case method, and copying-and-pasting it, we're going to follow Table Driven Tests, which will make life a lot easier.

  • All the code of our gRPC app in Go is available in: https://github.com/scraly/learning-go-by-examples/tree/main/go-gopher-grpc

  • gomega

    Ginkgo's Preferred Matcher Library

  • Gomega is a Go library that allows you to make assertions. In our example, we check if what we got is null, not null, or equal to an exact value, but the gomega library is much richer than that.

  • gRPC

    The C based gRPC (C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, PHP, C#)

  • gRPC is a modern, open source Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework, originally developed by Google.

  • Protobuf

    Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format

  • It uses Protocol Buffers, Google’s Open Source technology for serializing and deserializing structured data.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
