Open Source Go Build Tools for Windows

AWS Copilot is an open-source command-line interface that makes it easy for developers to build, release, and operate production-ready containerized applications on AWS App Runner, Amazon ECS, and AWS Fargate. Run a single command to quickly get started with a containerized application using best practices on AWS from a Dockerfile. Instead of modeling individual resources, Copilot provides common cloud architectures, request-driven web service, load-balanced web service, backend service, worker service, and scheduled job. The necessary infrastructure is generated from the chosen pattern. Focus your time on writing business logic instead of connecting AWS resources. No need to worry about gluing Copilot commands in a script to create an automated release process. Copilot provides commands to create multiple deployment environments in separate AWS accounts and regions, as well as creating an AWS CodePipeline pipeline to build your container images.

Dapr is a portable, serverless, event-driven runtime that makes it easy for developers to build resilient, stateless, and stateful microservices that run on the cloud and edge and embrace the diversity of languages and developer frameworks. Dapr codifies the best practices for building microservice applications into open, independent, building blocks that enable you to build portable applications with the language and framework of your choice. Each building block is independent and you can use one, some, or all of them in your application.

The Operator SDK makes it easier to build Kubernetes native applications, a process that can require deep, application-specific operational knowledge. The Operator SDK provides the tools to build, test, and package Operators. Initially, the SDK facilitates the marriage of an application’s business logic (for example, how to scale, upgrade, or backup) with the Kubernetes API to execute those operations. Over time, the SDK can allow engineers to make applications smarter and have the user experience of cloud services. Leading practices and code patterns that are shared across Operators are included in the SDK to help prevent reinventing the wheel.

Built on the simple mechanics of resources, tasks, and jobs, Concourse presents a general approach to automation that makes it great for CI/CD. Concourse is designed to be expressive, versatile, and safe, remaining intuitive as the complexity of your project grows. A Concourse pipeline is like a distributed, continuous Makefile. Each job has a build plan declaring the job's input resources and what to run with them when they change. Your pipeline is then visualized in the web UI, taking only one click to get from a failed job to seeing why it failed. The visualization provides a "gut check" feedback loop: if it looks wrong, it probably is wrong. Jobs can depend on other jobs by configuring passed constraints. The resulting chain of jobs and resources is a dependency graph that continuously pushes your project forward, from source code to production.

GC Build official builder images is a repository that provides a collection of prebuilt and customizable container images used with Google Cloud Build to automate CI/CD pipelines. These builder images act as modular steps within build pipelines, allowing developers to perform tasks such as compiling code, running tests, building Docker images, and deploying applications. The repository includes a wide range of builders for different languages, tools, and workflows, enabling flexible and extensible pipeline design. It supports the concept of containerized build steps, where each stage of the pipeline runs in an isolated environment, improving reproducibility and consistency across builds. Developers can also create custom builders tailored to their specific workflows, integrating them seamlessly into Cloud Build configurations. This approach simplifies complex automation processes by breaking them into reusable components that can be chained together declaratively.

Testing distributed systems under hard failures like network partitions and instance termination is critical, but it's also important we test them under less catastrophic conditions because this is what they most often experience. Comcast is a tool designed to simulate common network problems like latency, bandwidth restrictions, and dropped/reordered/corrupted packets. It works by wrapping up some system tools in a portable(ish) way. On BSD-derived systems such as OSX, we use tools like ipfw and pfctl to inject failure. On Linux, we use iptables and tc. Comcast is merely a thin wrapper around these controls. Windows support may be possible with wipfw or even the native network stack, but this has not yet been implemented in Comcast and may be at a later date. On Linux, Comcast supports several options: device, latency, target/default bandwidth, packet loss, protocol, and port number.

Drone is a self-service Continuous Integration platform for busy development teams. Pipelines are configured with a simple, easy‑to‑read file that you commit to your git repository. Each Pipeline step is executed inside an isolated Docker container that is automatically downloaded at runtime. Drone integrates seamlessly with multiple source code management systems, including GitHub, GitHubEnterprise, Bitbucket, and GitLab. Drone natively supports multiple operating systems and architectures, including Linux x64, ARM, ARM64, and Windows x64. Drone works with any language, database, or service that runs inside a Docker container. Choose from thousands of public Docker images or provide your own. Drone uses containers to drop pre‑configured steps into your pipeline. Choose from hundreds of existing plugins, or create your own. Drone makes advanced customization easy. Implement custom access controls, approval workflows, secret management, yaml syntax extensions, and more.

Habitus adds workflows to the Docker build. This means you can create a chain of builds to generate your final Docker image based on a workflow. This is particularly useful if your code is in compiled languages like Java or Go or if you need to use secrets like SSH keys during the build. Habitus is a standalone build flow tool for Docker. It’s a command line tool that builds Docker images based on their Dockerfile and a build.yml.

Origin, also known as OKD is the community distribution of Kubernetes that has been optimized for continuous application development and multi-tenant deployment. It adds developer and operations-centred tools to Kubernetes to speed up application development and simplify deployment, scaling, as well as long-term lifecycle maintenance. It also makes it easier to launch Kubernetes on any cloud or bare metal and run and update clusters, while providing all the necessary tools for creating successful containerized applications.

ko is a simple, fast container image builder for Go applications. It's ideal for use cases where your image contains a single Go application without any/many dependencies on the OS base image (e.g., no cgo, no OS package dependencies). ko builds images by effectively executing go build on your local machine, and as such doesn't require docker to be installed. This can make it a good fit for lightweight CI/CD use cases. ko also includes support for simple YAML templating which makes it a powerful tool for Kubernetes applications. ko depends on the authentication configured in your Docker config. If you can push an image with docker push, you are already authenticated for ko. Since ko doesn't require docker, ko login also provides a surface for logging in to a container image registry with a username and password, similar to docker login. Additionally, if auth is not configured in the Docker config, ko includes built-in support for authenticating container registries.
