Go services are the easiest thing to host and the most annoying to wire up properly: build settings, ports, environment variables, a database next to it. This tutorial creates a small Go web app and deploys it on CloudStation straight from a Git repo, with nothing to hand-write.

CloudStation has moved on since this was first published: the platform now ships with AI agents that can generate, deploy and maintain a service like this one from a plain description. The steps below still work exactly as shown, and they are the fastest way to learn what those agents do on your behalf.

#### Creating a Simple Go Application

We will start by giving you an overview of the Go application we'll be working with. This application is a simple web server that displays a message, server information, and a fun fact, and it includes a form for submitting messages.

Here's a quick summary of the steps involved in creating the application:

1. Setting up the project directory.
2. Writing the Go code.
3. Initializing the Go module.

For the complete code and detailed instructions, you can refer to our comprehensive [Documentation](https://documentation.cloud-station.io/s/ce6e8846-8aec-4337-a850-5188b6dc6d6e/doc/deploying-a-go-application-on-cloudstation-6ty4S3vg0o?ref=blog.cloud-station.io).

#### Deploying the Go Application on CloudStation

Deploying your Go application on CloudStation is straightforward. Follow these steps:

1. **Sign up for CloudStation**: Ensure you have an account. If you don't have one yet, sign up [here](https://www.cloud-station.io/signup?ref=blog.cloud-station.io).
2. **Fork the Repository**: Click the **Fork** button at the top-right of the [repository](https://github.com/thecloudstation/go-example?ref=blog.cloud-station.io) to create your own copy.
3. **Navigate to the CloudStation Dashboard**: Go to the [CloudStation Dashboard](https://www.cloud-station.io/dashboard/project?ref=blog.cloud-station.io) and create a new project.
4. **Connect to GitHub**: Click on **Add New** and select **GitHub**. In the repositories list, select the repository you just forked.
5. **Deploy Your Application**: Choose a subdomain for your app, such as `golang-example`, and click **Deploy**.

Watch the video below for a step-by-step walkthrough of the deployment process:

Deploying Go applications with no DevOps needed

#### Understanding the Deployment

- **Automatic Build with Nixpacks**: CloudStation uses Nixpacks to automatically build your Go application, so you don't need a Dockerfile. Nixpacks detects the programming language and framework, managing the build process seamlessly.
- **Port Configuration**: This Go application runs on port 3000\. CloudStation uses port 3000 by default for deployed applications, so no changes are needed in the application configuration.

#### Customizing Your Application

Once your application is deployed, modifying it is simple:

1. Make changes in your forked repository.
2. Push the changes.
3. CloudStation will automatically rebuild and redeploy your application.

#### Conclusion

Creating and deploying a Go application on CloudStation is both easy and efficient. By leveraging CloudStation's serverless platform and [Nixpacks](https://nixpacks.com/docs/getting-started?ref=blog.cloud-station.io), you can focus on developing your application without the hassle of managing infrastructure.

 Happy clouding ☁️!!

## From deploy to done

Deploying is the easy part. The work that follows, adding endpoints, wiring a queue, writing tests, keeping dependencies current, is what CloudStation agents now handle inside your project, on your own API keys.
