130 Network Systems

This section introduces production networking in Go as a systems discipline, not just API usage.

You will move from connection-level behavior to service-level reliability:

1. TCP service construction with framing, deadlines, and backpressure.
2. HTTP service resilience with end-to-end timeout budgets.
3. Reverse proxy design for routing, failure isolation, and operability.

The goal is to build a precise mental model for how network software behaves under load, packet loss, slow downstreams, and partial failure.
