How to deploy Golang applications in different scenarios

In the process of software development and deployment in recent years, Golang has become an increasingly popular programming language. This language has many features, such as efficiency, reliability, security, etc. Therefore, more and more developers are starting to use Golang language to write applications. However, there are still some difficulties and techniques when actually deploying Golang applications. This article will focus on the deployment issues of Golang and explain in detail how to deploy Golang applications in different scenarios.

1. Basic deployment
For a new server, you first need to install the Golang environment. Under Linux systems, we can quickly complete the installation through the package manager. On the Ubuntu system, we can install Go through the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install golang

With the above command, we will install the latest version Go is installed into the system. Of course, we can also manually download the Go installation package and then install it. Next, we need to choose a web framework to develop our application. For example, we can use the Gin framework to quickly develop our web applications. So, how to install the Gin framework? We just need to use the following command in the terminal:

go get -u github.com/gin-gonic/gin

This command will automatically download the Gin framework and install it to our Under the GOPATH path. Through the above steps, we can start developing our application. Compile our application into an executable file and copy it to the server. We have successfully implemented the most basic Golang deployment.

2. Deployment using Docker
When actually deploying applications, we often encounter problems with different system environments. These issues may prevent the application from functioning properly. In order to avoid this situation, we can use Docker container technology for deployment. Docker is an open source container virtualization platform that helps us quickly build, publish and run applications. Following are the steps to deploy Golang application using Docker.

1. Create a Docker image
First, we need to install the Docker service on our system. Then, we can create our Docker image through Dockerfile. A Dockerfile is a text file that contains a series of instructions to build a Docker image. Here is a simple Dockerfile example:

FROM golang
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN go build -o main .
CMD ["/app/main"]

This file tells Docker that we want to use the official Golang image as the base image, and then copy all files in the current directory to the /app directory. We then run the go build command to compile our application and name it main. Finally, we use the CMD command to launch our application.

2. Build Docker image
After we write the Dockerfile, we can use the following command to build our Docker image:

docker build -t my-golang-app .

This command will help us build a Docker image named my-golang-app and push it to the Docker warehouse.

3. Deploy Docker container
After we successfully create the Docker image, we can start the container through the following command:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 my-golang- app

This command will start a Docker container and use the my-golang-app image as the default image at startup. The container will run in the background and be mapped to port 8080 of the host machine. With this, we have successfully deployed our Golang application.

3. Deployment using Kubernetes
In a distributed system, we need to expand and fault-tolerance the application. At this time, we can use Kubernetes to deploy and manage our applications. Kubernetes is a versatile container orchestration platform that can help us easily scale and deploy applications. Following are the steps to deploy a Golang application using Kubernetes.

1. Write a Kubernetes configuration file
We need to write a Kubernetes configuration file to tell Kubernetes how to deploy our application. For example, here is a simple configuration file example:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: my-golang-app
spec:
replicas: 3
template:

metadata:
  labels:
    app: my-golang-app
spec:
  containers:
  - name: my-golang-app
    image: my-golang-app
    ports:
    - containerPort: 8080
  imagePullSecrets:
  - name: my-golang-app-secret

---

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: my-golang-app
spec:
selector:

app: my-golang-app

ports:

• port: 80
  targetPort: 8080
  type: ClusterIP

This file contains two Kubernetes objects: Deployment and Service. The Deployment object defines the image we want to deploy, the number of containers and other related parameters. Service objects expose our applications to the outside world and connect them to the Kubernetes cluster.

2. Create Kubernetes resources
After writing the configuration file, we need to create Kubernetes resources through the following command:

kubectl apply -f k8s.yaml

This command will automatically create Deployment and Service objects and deploy them to the Kubernetes cluster.

3. Add Kubernetes objects
If we need to increase or delete the number of containers, we can use the following command to manage Kubernetes objects:

kubectl scale deployment my-golang-app --replicas=5

This command will tell Kubernetes that we need to increase the number of containers of the my-golang-app application to 5.

To sum up, this article introduces the basic deployment methods of Golang, deployment techniques using Docker and advanced deployment of Kubernetes. No matter which method is used, we need to choose the deployment method that best suits us based on the actual situation. I hope this article can provide some help and guidance to the majority of Golang developers when deploying Golang applications.
