- Practical session: Constructing a basic event-driven service in Go
Day 3: Messaging Systems & Event Brokers with Go
- Selecting and Integrating Event Brokers
- Overview of leading brokers: Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, and NATS
- Comparison of use cases and best practices for Go-based systems
- Setting Up Messaging Infrastructure
- Docker Compose configuration for Kafka, RabbitMQ, or NATS
- Configuring topics, exchanges, queues, and channels
- Overview of Go client libraries
- Hands-On Workshop
- Developing a sample Go microservice that produces and consumes events
- Integrating the service with the selected event broker
- Debugging and validating event flows
Day 4: Deploying, Monitoring, and Advanced Topics in Go EDA
- Deploying Go Event-Driven Applications on Kubernetes
- Containerizing Go applications for production use
- Deploying Kafka (or other brokers) on Kubernetes clusters
- Introduction to KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling) for scaling event consumers
- Error Handling and Monitoring
- Addressing event failures with robust strategies
- Implementing observability in Go services
- Advanced Topics & Q&A
- Exploring Serverless Event-Driven Architectures with Go
- Event Choreography vs. Orchestration: Use cases and design considerations
- Common pitfalls, lessons learned, and best practices
- Open Q&A session and interactive troubleshooting
Requirements
- Solid proficiency in Go (Golang), with specific experience in utilizing goroutines and channels
- Foundational knowledge of software architecture models, including monoliths and microservices
- Working familiarity with Docker and Docker Compose
- Basic understanding of REST APIs and general networking principles
- Practical experience with command-line utilities and Git
- Recommended but not required: prior exposure to Kubernetes and messaging platforms such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or NATS
Target Audience
- Go developers focused on creating scalable, event-driven applications
- Software engineers looking to shift from monolithic or REST-based designs to asynchronous systems
- DevOps and cloud engineers managing containerized or distributed microservices
- Technical architects and system designers investigating EDA patterns within the Go ecosystem

we write some code in GO and we learn some stuff regarding EDA like events, when and how.

It was an interactive course, no time to sleep :)). Also was nice to work in teams and then to debate according to each result.

I enjoyed most the discussions and the examples provided so we could reach by ourselves to the conclusions he wanted to share with us. I liked the pace, the english, the patience, that even if we did not came with the best answer he would not say it is wrong, but came with examples of what could be better.
Simona
Course - Event Driven Architecture Custom
The open discussions and going from understanding the problems/reasons (the `why`) to `EDA`.
Constantin
Course - Event Driven Architecture Custom
the approach of presenting things heavily based on interaction and examples
Virgil
Course - Event Driven Architecture Custom
The interactive nature of the course The self-discovery learning approach where you found answers yourselves The practical focus with real-life examples that made concepts more relatable
