MTS launched a course on microservices development in Golang based at the Higher School of Economics

Third year students will learn the basics of Go, DevOps, monitoring and metric collection, competitive work in Go, documentation and testing, learn to work with databases (PostgreSQL and MongoDB), manage message queuing (Kafka and RabbitMQ).

The knowledge gained can be immediately put into practice: the guys will develop three microservices for a single end-to-end project that they can include in their portfolio. The exam will be conducted in an interview format so that students can practice interviewing at an IT company. Those who successfully cope with this task will be invited by MTS for an internship.

According to Pavel Voronin, 1st Vice President of Technology at MTS, the company has been cooperating with HSE for several years and the course has become an organic continuation of this partnership.

“Golang is one of the most popular programming languages ​​today, it is fast and secure to develop and easy to access from any stack. It is used by large corporations around the world, including MTS – dozens of the company’s services are written in Go. We have a wealth of experience and are happy to share our knowledge with the younger generation interested in developing cloud and high-load services.”Voronin pointed out.

This is the second Go language development training program launched by MTS. Previously, it released two golang developer streams as part of the MTS.Theta school. More than 30% of the graduates of the course went on to work in the company.
