ShepHertz has recently announced the support for Go on App42 PaaS, which means you can  conveniently deploy your Golang applications on App42 PaaS platform. An open source programming, Go makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software. It bridges the gap between efficient statistically typed and productive dynamic languages.

In this blog post, I will walk you through the steps of deploying Go application on App42 PaaS.

Prerequisites

• Register with App42 PaaS platform
• Install and configure App42 PaaS Client

Setting up infrastructure for Go

To setup infrastructure for your Go application, you have to run the ‘app42 setupInfra‘ command using App42 PaaS Client and choose the relevant options to setup infrastructure. Also you can do it from App42 PaaS HQ Console by clicking ‘Setup Infra’ under ‘App Manager’ on left panel.

Deploying Go application on App42 PaaS Platform

You can deploy your application on App42 PaaS platform in two ways.

• First, you can create a binary (including all dependencies) on your local development environment and deploy it on App42 PaaS.
• Second, you can deploy your application by providing the Git repository URL of your app.

NOTE: In case of deploying from the source, either the provided Git repository must be public or if using private repository, you better provide the pull permission to App42PaaS Github user.
