20 saved links, 2020–2025 (peak: 2023). A side-interest tag, and an honest one: you never quite committed to Go the way you did to Python, but you kept circling it — because the entire cloud-native world you work in (Kubernetes, Terraform, ko, half of GitHub’s infra tooling) is written in it. What’s here is mostly learning intentions plus the Go-flavored DevOps tools that kept pulling you back.

Learning the language (or meaning to)
- The Go Programming Language and Mastering Go — saved together from a “Golang has been my go-to since 2016” book-recommendation thread; the canonical two.
- Uber’s Go style guide — “this looks terrific,” and it still is the reference for idiomatic Go at scale.
- go-backend-clean-architecture — Gin, MongoDB, JWT, Docker — saved twice, in fact: the repo and its dormoshe.io write-up two weeks apart. Clean architecture in Go clearly struck a chord.
- the Python Mastery repo — tagged golang because of its origin story: “I first decided to learn golang, then landed on Rust, then realized I don’t even know Python.” The most self-aware save in this tag.
- Scott Lowe’s learning-tools — a grab-bag repo for learning new technologies, Go among them.
Go as DevOps glue
The real reason this tag exists: the infrastructure tools you live with are Go programs.
- Go for DevOps: automating infrastructure with Go — the thesis of this whole section, stated plainly.
- terraboard — a web dashboard to inspect Terraform states — Go tooling for your IaC day job.
- ko — build container images for Go apps without a Dockerfile — the “single static binary” superpower in action.
- a “build my own Kubernetes” journey (2022) — the ultimate Go-learning project for a K8s person.
- Azure crossover: Azure Functions custom handlers with Go and injecting the Azure Pipelines build version into a Go app — your oldest save here (2020).
- improving CI/CD with a focus on developer velocity · containerizing and deploying a Go + SvelteKit auth system.
Tools & production stories
- Nixopus — open-source Vercel/Heroku/Netlify alternative in Go — the tag’s lone 2025 save, and very on-brand: self-hostable platform tooling.
- rod — a DevTools driver for web automation and scraping.
- Wakapi — open-source, self-hosted time tracking for devs (2023).
- JioCinema’s APNs optimizations for iOS Live Activities at IPL scale — a rare production war story in this tag.
- WebAssembly + serverless functions: a match made in the cloud.
