 Essential Theory

### Some facts about Go

- developed by Google in 2007

- open Sourced in 2009

### Why do we need Go? - Go Use cases

- Over the years, infrastructure became:

  - Scalable & Distributed

  - Dynamic

  - More Capacity

- Multi-Threading Use Cases

  - running two or more processes in parallel

- Built-in concurrency mechanism

Essentially, here are is the main use case of Go:

- Building performant applications

- Running on scaled, distributed systems i.e. where there are 100s or 1000s of servers!

- Mostly use with Cloud Development

### Characteristics of Go

- Go is an attempt to combine:

  - simple and readable syntax of a language like Python (which is dynamically typed)

  - efficiency and safety of a low-level language like C++ (which is statically typed)

- Mostly used as a server-side or backend language

- Can be used to write:

  - microservices

  - web apps

  - database services

- Few examples of production-grade Go use cases:

  - Kubernetes

  - Docker

  - Hashicorp Vault

  - Cockroach DB

- Compiled language - That means this can be compiled into a single binary (machine code) and we can use this same binary file across different OS

### Some Advantages

- Simple syntax: easy to learn, read and write code

- Fast build time, start up and run time

- Requires fewer resources

  - Efficient garbage collection (GC)
