Go (Golang) Standard Library Interfaces (Selected)

This is not an exhaustive list of all interfaces in Go's standard library. I only list those I think are important. Interfaces defined in frequently used packages (like io, fmt) are included. Interfaces that have significant importance are also included.

All of the following information is based on go version go1.8.3 darwin/amd64.

What do Etcd, Consul, and Zookeeper do?

• Service Registration:
  • Host, port number, and sometimes authentication credentials, protocols, versions numbers, and/or environment details.
• Service Discovery:
  • Ability for client application to query the central registry to learn of service location.
• Consistent and durable general-purpose K/V store across distributed system.
  • Some solutions support this better than others.
  • Based on Paxos or some derivative (i.e. Raft) algorithm to quickly converge to a consistent state.
• Centralized locking can be based on this K/V store.
