The Go Philosophy

Go was created at Google to solve problems of scale. It is the language of modern infrastructure—Docker and Kubernetes are built with it.

Key Principles:

1. Simplicity: Code should be readable and maintainable.
2. Performance: Compiled to machine code, Go rivals C++ and Java.
3. Concurrency: Built-in primitives (Goroutines) for massive scaling.
4. No Magic: We prefer explicit code over hidden frameworks.

In this course, we will avoid heavy frameworks and use the standard library to understand exactly how our microservices work.
