Preparing application code for deployments
In this section, we are going to provide a high-level overview of a service deployment process and describe the actions required to prepare your microservices for deployments. You will learn how to configure Go microservices for running in different environments, how to build them for different operating systems, and some other tips for preparing your microservices for remote execution.
Let’s proceed to the basics of the deployment process.
