Bootstrap

This section will present the flow of starting up of an application writing in Golang. The good application should be able to:

Handle the main logic features in long running processes
Response to the external signals (user or system interrupt)
Response to the internal signals (error or corrupt from internal components)

In reality, thoes non-functional requirements is set in the main function (main.go). Fortunately, Go with goroutine support us to adapt them. Let’s get into the flow of starting an application in Golang using Gobs.

Init

Initialize an instance to handle the bootstrap flow

Setup

Set environment for the components setup

Start

Handle CLI mode or Server mode after starting process

Interrupt

Response to the external and internal signals

Stop

Holding for final works before exiting
