Chapter 12. Where to Go from Here?

Welcome to the last chapter in our journey to learning cloud native programming in the Go language. By now, you should have enough knowledge to build production grade microservices, design complex distributed architectures, utilize the power of key Amazon web services, empower your software with containers, among other things.

However, the subject of cloud native programming is a very deep and massive one. This means that there are topics that you can still learn to enrich your knowledge and skills in that area. The purpose of this chapter is to light a path for you from where this book leaves off, by providing some practical overviews of topics not covered in this book that are strong avenues to pursue after you absorb the knowledge contained in this book.

More useful features offered by cloud providers
Other cloud...
