Builder Pattern

Explore the builder design pattern to understand how it enables the step-by-step construction of complex Go objects in scalable backend development. Learn when to apply the pattern to simplify object creation, create different versions of an entity, and avoid incomplete data instances, ensuring robust and maintainable code.

Description

The builder design pattern is a creational design pattern that provides a way to construct complex objects step by step. It separates the construction logic from the object’s representation, allowing the same construction process to create different representations.

In Go, the builder pattern is useful in scenarios where the construction of an object involves multiple steps or requires different configurations to be possible during an application’s life cycle. It provides a structured approach to creating objects with varying attributes while keeping the construction process simple and manageable.

When to use

We utilize the builder pattern in the following scenarios:
