Learn how to design and build production-ready Go applications using Clean Architecture, MongoDB and Docker.
In this course, you’ll learn how to design, implement and deploy a real-world Go backend using Clean Architecture, MongoDB and Docker, following best practices used in production systems.
What you’ll learn
- Design a real-world Go backend using Clean Architecture and a modular monorepo structure..
- Build REST APIs in Go with clear domain layers, use cases and decoupled adapters..
- Connect a Go application to MongoDB, store data cleanly and run everything in Docker..
- Structure scalable Go projects that can start as a monolith and evolve into microservices..

Requirements
In this course, you’ll learn how to design, implement and deploy a real-world Go backend using Clean Architecture, MongoDB and Docker, following best practices used in production systems.
We’ll start from scratch with a modular monorepo, where you’ll build a REST API to manage trading strategies. You’ll learn how to keep your codebase organized, testable and scalable. Ready to evolve into microservices in future steps.
Unlike other courses that try to cover everything at once, this one is focused and practical: you’ll build a solid foundation, understand how to separate concerns using Clean Architecture and deliver a working backend project that you can actually use and extend.
What you’ll build: A backend service that can:
- Define and manage trading strategies.
- Store and retrieve data from MongoDB.
- Be tested locally with Postman and Go tests.
- Run in Docker and be extended into microservices later.
What you’ll learn:
- How Clean Architecture applies to Go projects.
- How to model your domain using entities and use cases.
- How to structure a monorepo with independent layers.
- MongoDB integration and persistence.
- Writing unit and integration tests in Go.
- How to build, test and run everything with Docker and Docker Compose.
Why this course matters
This course is the first part of a larger journey. By the end, you’ll have a clean and modular Go backend. And the skills to scale it up later into multiple microservices if your system demands it.
Whether you’re just getting started with Go or looking for a real-world example of Clean Architecture in action, this course is your ideal starting point.
