Go Lab

Go Lab is the umbrella overview for the Go-focused material in this repo. It mixes language fundamentals, architecture notes, smaller backend services, and larger systems-learning projects, so the best way to use it is to treat this README as the map and each linked area README as the real entry point.

Areas

• challanges for compact practice exercises around concurrency and data transformations
• event_driven_architecture_in_golang for notes, diagrams, and chapter code on event-driven systems
• go_with_domain for DDD, clean architecture, CQRS, and the Wild Workouts companion project
• learning_go for chapter-by-chapter Go fundamentals, concept notes, and example code
• reeling_it for a PostgreSQL-backed movie app with accounts, collections, and passkey auth
• ride_sharing_app for a distributed Uber-style backend with messaging, infrastructure, and deployment material
• ultimate_go for design-guideline and engineering-judgment notes built around the Ultimate Go material
• workout_tracker for a compact authenticated workout-tracking API with migrations and local Docker setup

How To Use It

Start with the area that matches the kind of work you want to study:

• fundamentals and language behavior: learning_go
• engineering judgment and code quality: ultimate_go
• architecture and service boundaries: go_with_domain
• asynchronous systems and messaging: event_driven_architecture_in_golang or ride_sharing_app
• smaller backend application references: workout_tracker and reeling_it
• short deliberate-practice exercises: challanges

Project Mix

The repo is intentionally uneven in a good way. Some folders are notes-first study areas, some are code-first backend projects, and some combine both. That mix makes go-lab useful as both a study archive and a practical reference shelf for real Go work.
