Production Go services use layered architecture with package separation, middleware chains for request handling, and resilience patterns like retry logic and graceful shutdown. This Skill provides architecture templates for Go services that meet type safety and observability requirements while supporting Docker integration and configuration management across five layers.

Go applications benefit from test pyramids combining unit, integration, and end-to-end tests alongside linting and static analysis. This Skill outlines comprehensive testing strategies and quality gates that ensure code reliability, performance validation, and observability instrumentation for Go services.

Yes. This Skill covers Docker integration patterns for Go services and includes patterns for Redis clients, resilient system design, and context propagation. The patterns support building containerized Go services with caching, job schedulers, and LDAP clients in production environments.

Go services require structured configuration across multiple layers to manage environment-specific settings safely. This Skill delivers five-layer configuration management patterns that integrate with middleware chains, resilience features, and Docker deployments for consistent application behavior.

Resilience patterns include retry logic, graceful shutdown, and context propagation; observability requires middleware chains and performance instrumentation. This Skill provides production-grade patterns for building Go services, CLI tools, and job schedulers that handle failures reliably and expose operational metrics.

Yes, Go fundamentals are required. This Skill assumes existing Go knowledge and builds on it with production patterns for architecture, middleware, buffer pooling, testing strategies, and quality gates. It's designed for developers ready to implement enterprise-grade Go services.
