BYU OIT Go Handbook

Preface

This handbook is written for OIT teams who want to build dependable Go services quickly, with shared practices and a common vocabulary. It favors clarity over cleverness, and practical guidance over exhaustive theory. The goal is to help you go from “I understand the basics” to “I can ship this safely” with fewer detours.

Each chapter is designed to be useful on its own. You can read from start to finish, or jump straight to the topic you need. Where there are tradeoffs, this book highlights the ones that matter most in day-to-day work, including decisions about structure, testing, tooling, and operational readiness.

If a chapter helps you, please pass that knowledge on. This handbook improves when the community uses it, challenges it, and contributes back.
