Architecture Decision RecordArchitecture Decision Record: Go programming language
Title: How We Adopt Go Programming Language
Status: Accepted
Context
Our organization don dey mainly use Java programming language to build web applications. But we don dey face some challenges because of Java verbosity and di complexity of some frameworks. Also, our team don show interest to explore modern programming languages for more efficient and robust development. After we do research, we identify Go as potential solution to di problems wey we dey face with Java.
Decision
We go adopt Go programming language to build web applications from now on.
Rationale
Simplicity and readability: People know Go for im simplicity and concise syntax. Dis one make am easy to read and write code, wey reduce di complexity of our development process.
High-performance and scalability: Dem compile Go into machine code wey dey run natively on di server. Dis one result for faster execution times and better performance compared to interpreted languages like Java. Plus, Go concurrency model dey handle multiple requests at di same time, wey make am highly scalable.
Strong community support: Go get vibrant community of developers wey don contribute to im growth over di years. Dis mean say plenty resources, libraries, and frameworks dey to help us get started and build robust applications.
Flexibility: Dem fit use Go for both frontend and backend development. Dis mean say we fit leverage im advantages for both areas for our development projects.
Implications
Training: Our developers go need to go through training to learn Go programming language and im nuances.
Experience: We fit face some challenges as we dey transition from Java to Go. E fit take some time before our developers become proficient with di new language.
Tooling: We go need to adopt new tools and frameworks wey specific to Go. But we fit leverage di existing infrastructure wey we get to minimize di impact of dis change.
Vendor lock-in: Go na open-source programming language, and we no go tie to any vendor or service provider.
Conclusion
To adopt Go programming language go help us improve our development process and build robust applications. We go need to invest resources for training and tools to support dis transition, but we believe say di benefits of dis decision pass di costs.
