Golang shines in backend development, concurrent operations and is a perfect suite for building scalable and performant backend applications. Due to the lack of posts revolving around It's microservice architecture with go workspaces which is an incredible tool for sharing modular code through different services, I decided to share my implementation.
mkdir docker touch docker/Dockerfile.authentication touch docker/Dockerfile.users mkdir -p services/authentication mkdir -p services/users mkdir -p shared/utils touch docker-compose.yml
Following shell commands will produce the following folder tree structure
At the root of the project, create a go workspace simply by using a simple command go work init this will produce the go.work file
Next, initialize all the different go projects that will be able to hold dependencies, and run codebases.
cd services/authentication && go mod init github.com/LegationPro/ms/services/authentication cd ../.. && cd services/users && go mod init github.com/LegationPro/ms/services/users cd ../.. && cd shared && go mod init github.com/LegationPro/ms/shared
After running the following commands, your project should look like this
Next, we will populate the go workspace and tell it what is part of the workspace by running the following command
go work use ./services/authentication ./services/users ./shared
This will populate the go.work file
go 1.23.1 use ( ./services/authentication ./services/users ./shared )
Let's go over the docker-compose.yml first.
Your docker-compose.yml file should look like this
services: authentication: build: context: . dockerfile: docker/Dockerfile.authentication volumes: - ./services/authentication:/app/authentication - ./shared:/app/shared ports: - "8081:8081" users: build: context: . dockerfile: docker/Dockerfile.users volumes: - ./services/users:/app/users - ./shared:/app/shared ports: - "8082:8082"
We tell docker-compose to use the following services which are authentication and users.
We give is the root context, so we can access the files and folders at the root level.
Supply the dockerfile location.
Define the given volume for the container and at the end expose a port for the container to run on.
Setting up the Dockerfile is pretty simple and straight forward.
We pull the latest golang alpine image, assign a working directory, move some of the code around, adjust it to work with the go workspace structure and simply run it.
docker/Dockerfile.authentication
# Pull golang image FROM golang:1.23-alpine # Switch to /app as the working directory WORKDIR /app # Copy the authentication codebase over to our container COPY ./services/authentication /app/authentication/ # Copy the shared codebase and libraries that are shared across our apps inside the container COPY ./shared /app/shared # Initialize go workspace inside of our container RUN go work init # Assign different codebases to go workspaces RUN go work use ./authentication ./shared # Simply run our service with this simple command CMD ["go", "run", "./authentication"]
Dockerfile.users
# Pull golang image FROM golang:1.23-alpine # Switch to /app as the working directory WORKDIR /app # Copy the authentication codebase over to our container COPY ./services/users /app/users/ # Copy the shared codebase and libraries that are shared across our apps inside the container COPY ./shared /app/shared # Initialize go workspace inside of our container RUN go work init # Assign different codebases to go workspaces RUN go work use ./users ./shared # Simply run our service with this simple command CMD ["go", "run", "./users"]
services/authentication/main.go
package main import ( "fmt" "github.com/LegationPro/ms/shared/utils" ) func main() { fmt.Println(utils.SomeAuthFunc()) }
services/users/main.go
package main import ( "fmt" "github.com/LegationPro/ms/shared/utils" ) func main() { fmt.Println(utils.SomeUserFunc()) }
shared/utils/utils.go
package utils func SomeAuthFunc() string { return "Some auth func" } func SomeUserFunc() string { return "Some user func" }
The structure should look like this now
docker-compose up --build
To make sure everything works the output should be the following:
That's it, you have a fully functional go workspace modular microservice architecture setup! ??
