Create a Build
Explore the process of building, packaging, and dockerizing Beego applications. Learn how to compile with go build, create deployable packages using bee pack, and prepare Docker containers with bee dockerize to streamline deployment.
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
.gofiles, 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.modfile, streamlining the build process.Cross-compilation: The Go build system supports ...
