I have been looking into the Versioned Go Command which was released recently by Russ Cox. In summary this project is a pretty rethink of how golang retrieves and stores packages used to build applications, and more specifically how versioned modules are introduced while retaining reproducible builds. The highlights, and standout features for me are as follows: Adds intrinsic support for versioning into the go command. Includes a few new sub commands such as vendor and verify Incorporates a lot of new ideas around the storage and management of golang modules, which seems to correlate to something akin to a github project. As a user of Amazon Web Services (AWS) in large organisations I am always mindful of providing a mechanism to enable single sign on (SSO) As an advocate for open source I was happy find Keycloak, which is developed by Redhat and is now an option for organisations looking for an open solution to identity federation with AWS. Continue reading Over the last few months I have been working on a project which uses DynamoDB almost exclusively for persistence, this has been a big challenge for everyone on the team. As a developer, most of us are comfortable using a Relational database management system (RDBMS) systems, so the move to a primitive key value store has been fun, but we have learnt a lot. To try and capture some of these learnings I have written this article, hopefully it will help those who embark on a similar journey. Lately I have been using apex to build a side project, this tool stream lines building and deploying serverless applications using AWS Lambda. While working on this project I have helped others get started with golang at the same time as apex. My general strategy for building apex applications is to build a standalone version of the functionality on my machine, typically in a way which makes the code reusable, then I import and use that in apex. Continue reading I have been helping a few people get up and running with golang lately and thought it was about time to post a brief getting started.
