Introduction

godo stands for Go Digital Ocean, it is a library that makes working with serverless functions much easier. It introduces structs that abstract the interface between Digital Ocean's serverless infrastructure platform and Go.

The conventional way to declare a serverless function is like so:

func Main(args map[string]interface{}) map[string]interface{} {
    // ...
    return r
}

The library introduces godo.Request and godo.ResponseMap which change the function like so:

func Main(args Request) ResponseMap {
    r := NewResponseJSON()
    r.Body = args.GetBody()
    r.StatusCode = http.StatusOK
    return r.ToMap()
}

Currently, the interface offered in this module is simple, however, it makes working with serverless functions in Digital Ocean much easier and cuts down development time.
