You can access the GitHub repository that contains the code and all required resources for each one of this book's chapters by pointing your web browser at the following URL: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Software-Engineering-with-Golang.
Each example project for this chapter includes a common Makefile that defines the following set of targets:
| Makefile target | Description |
| deps | Install any required dependencies. |
| test | Run all tests and report coverage. |
| lint | Check for lint errors. |
As with all other chapters from this book, you will need a fairly recent version of Go, which you can download at https://golang.org/dl/.
To run some of the code in this chapter, you will need to have a working Docker [2] installation on your machine. Furthermore, for the last part of this chapter, you will need access to a Kubernetes cluster. If you don't have access to a Kubernetes cluster for testing, you can simply follow the instructions laid out in the following sections to set up a small cluster on your laptop or workstation.
