Build, package, and dockerize Beego applications

In this lesson, we will explore the processes of building, packaging, and dockerizing a Beego application. These are essential parts of the software development workflow. These techniques transform our Beego application into a deployable binary or a dockerized image.

Building the application with go build

The go build command serves as a cornerstone in the Go ecosystem. It facilitates the compilation of Go source code into executable binaries. Its functionality extends beyond mere compilation, offering dependency management and enabling cross-compilation capabilities. Here’s an insight into the pivotal role go build plays in Go development:

  • Compilation: At its core, it compiles the Go source files into binaries. It takes the .go files, processes them, and generates an executable file for the application.

  • Dependency management: It automatically downloads and installs the necessary packages and dependencies declared in the source code or go.mod file, streamlining the build process.
