Packaging Go Microservices for AWS Deployment using CircleCI

LaunchDarkly uses Go for most of its backend systems and has a microservice-based architecture with around 10 distinct standalone binaries deployed on AWS. The team found that they needed to use additional tools to manage packaging and deployment of their code, such as Godep for versioning dependencies, goxc for cross-compiling, and CircleCI for building binaries. They also created a giter8 template for setting up new Go microservices with these tools.
