Achilleas Anagnostopoulos

Achilleas Anagnostopoulos has been writing code in a multitude of programming languages since the mid 90s. His main interest lies in building scalable, microservice-based distributed systems where components are interconnected via gRPC or message queues. Achilleas has over 4 years of experience building production-grade systems using Go and occasionally enjoys pushing the language to its limits through his experimental gopher-os project: a 64-bit kernel written entirely in Go. He is currently a member of the Juju team at Canonical, contributing to one of the largest open source Go code bases in existence.

Building and packaging Go services using Docker

Over the last few years, more and more software engineers started using systems such as Docker to containerize their applications. Containers offer a simple and clean way to execute an application without having to worry about the underlying hardware or operating system. In other words, the same container image can run on your local development machine, a VM on the cloud, or even on a bare-metal server located in your company's data center.

Benefits of containerization

Other than portability, containerization offers a few more important benefits, both from a software engineering and DevOps perspective. To begin with, containers make it easy to deploy a new version of a piece...
