Go – the programming language of efficiency and reliability
Code with true and sustainable value
At Koud, we always choose the tools best suited for the task at hand. More often than not, that means using the Go programming language, also known as Golang. Why? Because it’s efficient, versatile, secure, and incredibly powerful. We also confidently claim that we have mastered Go better than any other Finnish software development company.
What can Go do?
Golang excels in the following areas.
System programming
Go offers excellent support for efficient system programming, including operating systems and low-level services. Its design prioritises scalability and performance, making it an ideal choice for demanding system-level projects.
Server development
Go’s efficiency and lightweight nature make it perfect for server application development. It is especially well-suited for modern web services and microservice architectures, providing developers with fast and reliable tools for building robust servers.
Distributed systems and cloud services
Go on erinomainen valinta hajautettujen järjestelmien kehittämiseen sen ainutlaatuisten ominaisuuksien ansiosta. Kielen suunnittelussa on keskitytty erityisesti suorituskykyyn ja skaalautuvuuteen, mikä tekee siitä ihanteellisen työkalun laajamittaisten ja monimutkaisten hajautettujen sovellusten rakentamiseen. Tämä mahdollistaa kehittäjien rakentaa tehokkaasti skaalautuvia ja samanaikaisia sovelluksia vähemmällä vaivalla.
Internet of Things applications
Go’s efficiency and ability to operate on resource-constrained devices make it an attractive option for IoT application development. Its capacity to handle concurrent tasks with minimal latency is particularly valuable for managing real-time IoT systems and smart devices.
How do our clients benefit from Go-based solutions?
Improved performance
- With Go, it’s easy to produce highly efficient code, offering performance comparable to popular languages like C.
- Built-in performance tools simplify efficiency measurement.
- Applications deliver excellent response times, even when handling tens or hundreds of thousands of concurrent tasks.
Guaranteed security
- Go’s memory management and strong typing reduce many common security risks.
- The language encourages developers to write compact, clear code, which helps minimise errors.
- Go’s built-in testing tools simplify code testing, enhancing overall security.
Versatility and scalability
- Go naturally scales for developing large systems – no surprise, as it was originally designed by Google for cloud environments.
- As a globally popular language, Go supports a wide range of use cases and environments, with extensive libraries available for developers.
- Its robust features are especially well-suited for building server applications.
Quick development and easy maintenance
- Go offers numerous built-in tools for developers, broad platform support, and solutions that are straightforward to deploy.
- Because Go remains within the 1.X version series, new versions maintain backward compatibility, ensuring existing solutions are not disrupted.
- Simple and readable syntax makes Go accessible to developers, enabling effortless creation of new solutions and maintenance of existing ones.
