In 2010, Joshua McAdams and I updated Joseph Hall's seminal book Effective Perl Programming for v5.10.

I've collected and updated the items explicating those new features.

Go services often fail in production for boring reasons: weak probe semantics, missing timeout budgets, unsafe retries, noisy telemetry, and rollout settings that look fine until traffic spikes. Go Apps on Kubernetes is a practical pocketbook for engineers who ship and run Go microservices on K8s. It gives you concise, production-focused guidance you can apply immediately: health/readiness contracts, graceful shutdown and draining, retry/backoff patterns, observability defaults (metrics, logs, traces), security hardening baselines, and deployment/autoscaling templates. No theory dump, no platform-admin detours. Just reusable patterns and incident-oriented checklists to help your services start cleanly, degrade predictably, and recover fast.
