Introduction The mediator pattern is a pattern used when you want to simplify communication i.e. message dispatching in complex applications. It involves building a mediator where each objects can delegate its communication, and which routes the messages to the right…
Introduction The memento pattern can be used to (partially) expose the internal state of an object. One use case for this pattern is to serialize an object to a file or as JSON for example, another is to build an…
Introduction The state pattern is a behavourial state pattern, which allows an object to change its behaviour when its internal state changes. Since this sounds quite cryptic, let’s have a look at the diagram: A short breakdown: As you can…
Introduction The template method pattern is a behavourial design pattern which allows you to define the template, or the skeleton of an operation in a base class, while allowing the subclasses to override specific steps or all steps of the…
Introduction The strategy pattern is a behavorial design pattern that allows you to define a family of algorithms, encapsulate them as an object, and with the help of interfaces make them interchangeable. What does it look like? A short explanation:…
Introduction The observer pattern is a software design pattern that allows an object, usually called the subject, to maintain a list of dependents, called observers, and notify them automatically of any state-changes. Many languages have this pattern either built-in or…
Introduction The visitor pattern is a design pattern that allows for adding new operations to a collection of objects, without, and that is important, modifying the objects themselves. If you want to implement the Visitor pattern in Go , you…
Introduction The builder pattern is a creational design pattern, i.e. it is a pattern for creating or instantiang objects of classes. It is used for breaking down the construction process, into smaller, more manageable and testable steps. In Go we…
Introduction The proxy pattern is a very useful design pattern. The basic function is to make sure that a caller has no direct acces to the instance of an object but rather goes through another class which does have that…
In my previous article we set up an Azure Container App with a small web API in Go. In this article I will discuss adding CD to your App. That means that you can deploy directly from Github without having…
One of the first things that made me want to learn Go, apart from an unquenchable curiosity, is the ability to write web APIs. For that I found the Gin framework quite easy to use. However, an API always needs…
