Travis

In a previous post we discovered how can we run commands on each push and check if the test is passing against multiple versions of go. This is a continuation of the same concept. We are going to deploy our code to Elastic Beanstalk, straight from git push. Elastic Beanstalk is nothing but a wrapper around it’s EC2 infrastructure. It is a developer-centric view of deploying an application on AWS. Developers just have to push the code and Beanstalk can take care of Auto Scaling Group, Elastic Load Balancer, databases etc. No need to manage infrastructure manually.

You can’t think of deploying your application to production without testing it. Neither you can manage a large codebase with confidence without it. Let us go through some basics of unit testing in golang. This post is structured in the following manner: unit testing basics in golang (jump) inbuilt code coverage command understanding subtests and helper function (jump) Travis CI integration (jump) running test against multiple version of go Please connect with me on LinkedIn and let’s get started.
