Having built most of the technologies in this book without the benefit of this book, I can wholeheartedly recommend Distributed Services with Go. Travis delivers years of practical experience distilled into a clear and concise guide that takes the reader step by step from foundational knowledge to production deployment. This book earns my most hearty endorsement.

This book is a great resource for Go developers looking to build and maintain distributed systems. It pairs an incremental development process with extensive code examples to teach you how to write your own distributed service, understand how it works under the hood, and how to deploy your service so others may start using it.
