Paperback. With Go 1.25, you get a runtime that reads the CPU quota of its own container, a standard library that closes long-standing gaps in filesystem safety and JSON handling, and a testing package that makes concurrent behaviour deterministic. And this second edition puts all of it to excellent use.This book is all about building one system, rather than a bunch of snippets in a folder. This means you can size a connection pool based on its own statistics, run 40,000 jobs on a fixed number of goroutines, retry serialisation conflicts without corrupting a ledger, and hold tens of thousands of open connections without exhausting file descriptors. Each recipe tackles a real problem, and then there's the simplest code to solve it, along with the reasoning behind when to use it again. Whether you're a developer who's already got some experience with Go and now needs it to get by in production, we've got you covered.Key LearningsSize worker pools and concurrency limits from measured CPU and memory budgetsConfine untrusted file paths so traversal attacks fail in the kernelTest 30 secs timeouts in milliseconds using testing/synctest and its virtual clockPropagate one timeout budget across every service hop without starving downstream callersRetry serialisation conflicts and deadlocks safely with bounded, jittered transaction backoffFind goroutine leaks from a profile and prove their absence in testsRead escape analysis and pprof profiles to remove the allocations that matterDrain response bodies so HTTP connections return to the pool and stay reusedShip schema changes across rolling updates using expand, switch, and contract releasesHarden services with govulncheck, minimal images, and secrets that never touch diskTable of ContentUp and Running with Go 1.25Go Advanced and ConcurrencyFile Handling and Data ProcessingBuilding and Managing Go APIsRPC and gRPC ServicesAutomation and Concurrency at ScaleMicroservices ArchitectureStrengthening Database InteractionsPerformance, Profiling and Resource ManagementNetworking, Protocols and SecurityTarget ReadersThis book is for every Go programmer who wants to bring error-free performance, immediate troubleshooting to issues, better reliability and active security.

With Go 1.25, you get a runtime that reads the CPU quota of its own container, a standard library that closes long-standing gaps in filesystem safety and JSON handling, and a testing package that makes concurrent behaviour deterministic. And this second edition puts all of it to excellent use.
This book is all about building one system, rather than a bunch of snippets in a folder. This means you can size a connection pool based on its own statistics, run 40,000 jobs on a fixed number of goroutines, retry serialisation conflicts without corrupting a ledger, and hold tens of thousands of open connections without exhausting file descriptors. Each recipe tackles a real problem, and then there's the simplest code to solve it, along with the reasoning behind when to use it again. Whether you're a developer who's already got some experience with Go and now needs it to get by in production, we've got you covered.
Key Learnings
- Size worker pools and concurrency limits from measured CPU and memory budgets
- Confine untrusted file paths so traversal attacks fail in the kernel
- Test 30 secs timeouts in milliseconds using testing/synctest and its virtual clock
- Propagate one timeout budget across every service hop without starving downstream callers
- Retry serialisation conflicts and deadlocks safely with bounded, jittered transaction backoff
- Find goroutine leaks from a profile and prove their absence in tests
- Read escape analysis and pprof profiles to remove the allocations that matter
- Drain response bodies so HTTP connections return to the pool and stay reused
- Ship schema changes across rolling updates using expand, switch, and contract releases
- Harden services with govulncheck, minimal images, and secrets that never touch disk

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
