What will you learn?
In this guided project you'll practice building a CLI in Go, and you'll use production-ready database tools like PostgreSQL, SQLc, Goose, and psql. This won't just be another CLI utility, but a service that has a long-running service worker that reaches out over the internet to fetch data from remote locations.

The real-world context made the concepts click for me.

Fantastic! The explanations were crisp and the demos were grounded in real engineering scenarios. What stood out to me was the clear discussion around testing strategies and how to evolve a codebase over time. The sample repository was well-structured and made it simple to jump between sections. I’d love to see a follow-up lesson that goes deeper into profiling and performance tuning.

I appreciated how the instructor broke down the core concepts into digestible steps. The examples were practical and mirrored what I encounter in my day-to-day work. In particular, the section on error handling and observability tied everything together. If I had a minor nitpick, it would be that the pacing sped up in the last module, but the accompanying notes and code samples made it easy to revisit and cement the ideas.
