Go is a programming language developed at Google, it appeared in 2009. Go is a minimalist, statically typed, compiled language. It compiles to native code for most of the major OS platforms. Of the two things, I enjoy the most about being a Software Engineer are, coding, and learning. I try to learn new programming languages at a rate of 1 every one or two years. My method for learning is by actually using the language in practical projects.

I love automation and often use automation tools to improve my productivity. I’m using a MacBook Pro as my main workstation, which includes the Unix Like Mac OSX. I wanted to find a way to ease my everyday tasks, for example, programming and writing on my blog. Open many apps and setting them up, slows down my cognitive system, and doing that can take a couple of minutes. What if I could reduce that to a few seconds by writing a script to perform those repetitive tasks for me.

Deployment, scaling, monitoring, service discovery, configuration, we may or not be aware of such problems when we start but we definitely have to find a solution for them if we want to have a sustainable infrastructure for implementing software which is able to support increasing levels of success. There are many approaches to tackle the aforementioned situation, and a good first step is to standardize the application representation from the infrastructure point of view.
