We are going to secure our Go Microservice with JWT (JSON Web Tokens). We start with a fairly simple Go file, located in pkg/auth/authenticate.go, importing a couple of packages. The most important one is, of course, jwt, because it’ll help us implementing the authentication. Authenticating the user First we need to generate the token, of… Continue reading How to deploy a Go app on AWS Fargate – part 2
How to deploy a Go app on AWS Fargate – part 1
I had this problem. Well, I still have it: one of my clients has a very old app that we are replacing because upgrading it is plain impossible. So we are strangling it as fast as possible.

And it’s very likely that this person will be you in the future. So yes, you… Continue reading Should I write tests? Two real life examples
How to set user and group in Docker Compose
I have this problem: a client’s DevOps is a Mac user, meaning that their Docker works differently on my Linux machine¹. In this case we talk about user and group.

How to “Go run” without Go with Docker

Come non far litigare Apache e Node.js
Appunto qui due cose, visto che derivano da vari posti sull’interwebz e magari può servire a qualcun altro (tipo me nel futuro… e anche perché mi dava un connection refused, che ho risolto non sono sicuro come). Ho appena cominciato con Node.js e non vorrei sbattere più volte contro gli stessi muri. Devo creare un… Continue reading Come non far litigare Apache e Node.js
