Development Environment #

The Golang Development Environment is setup as follows:

We use GoLand as the primary Integrated Development Environment tool.

• GoLand with Git Servers: to connect to Git Server,GitLab Server, Bitbucket and Github
• GoLand with Git: to manage Code Control - Local and Remote Git activities.
• GoLand Debug: to debug and learn everything about Golang
• GoLand Remote Debug: to remote debug to diagnose code issues and defects in the integration
• GoLand and Docker Desktop as an Integrated Development Environment: to create the development environment using Docker and Kubernetes e.g. Kafka, Database, JBoss, Web servers (Apache, nginx, jetty)
• We use TeamCity or Jenkins to perform CI/CD
• We use HttpClient plugin comes with GoLand for Restful Integrated Testing

• Docker Desktop: We use Docker Desktop to deploy various environments used for the development and the integration testing:
  • Kafka dockers referring to the diagram for the Docker Desktop containing various Kafka sources provided by
    • Confluent docker,
    • Redpanda C++ Kafka and Redpanda Data Github
    • Debezium Docker
    • etc…
  • Kubernetes

The reasons for composing the docker services and/or kubernetes pods are:

• We allow each Developer to replicate the Development Environment with docker, thus suitable for microservice team and work breakdown
• We deploy the application in the Development Environment to the application in the Testing Environment with docker
• We deploy the application with CI/CD in mind and automate testing

• When we learn a new computer language, the debug will assist the learning. We setup two approaches to debug Golang:
  • We use the GoLand IDE debug the code
• When the Developers work with the Testers to trace any issues
  • We use the GoLand or Visual Code IDE to perform the remote debug to a Golang process

• Refer to Golang Study for detailed information
• Refer to Kafka Study for detailed information

Development Tools #

• Refer to Developement Tools to see how use the GoLand and Docker Desktop
