Tell me about the release process — how is the release structured?

The release process in Go development typically includes several stages:
-
Preparation for release: dependencies versions are fixed, changelog is updated, code stability is checked through tests and static analysis.
-
Build: binary files are created for the required platforms using
go build. CI/CD is often used to automate the build process. -
Testing: integration and load tests are run to ensure the release does not contain critical errors.
-
Tagging: a tag with the version number is created in the version control system (e.g., Git).
-
Deployment: binaries are uploaded to servers or containers, and service updates are initiated.
-
Monitoring and rollback: after release, metrics and logs are carefully monitored, and if necessary, a rollback to the previous version is performed.
Automation through CI/CD (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins) helps make the process repeatable and minimizes errors.
