As per your team needs
The goal of this course is to equip the participants to gain confidence in optimizing GoLang applications for better performance and scalability outcomes. Learners will learn about advanced profiling techniques, memory management tools, and strategies for scaling distributed systems. With the help of real-world examples and scenarios covered in hands-on labs, participants will get practical insights into applying specific GoLang tools and methodologies while designing robust, high-performing applications. Finally, the course will focus on practical knowledge of profiling tools, cloud deployment strategies, and advanced network optimization.
By the end of this course, you will be able to analyze and optimize the performance of GoLang applications, starting with identifying the bottlenecks, and ending with implementing scalable solutions. You will get hands-on experience in using profiling tools like pprof and Delve, optimizing memory and CPU usage, and scaling applications in cloud environments.
