How to Deploy Go to AWS ECS, GCP Cloud Run, or Azure Container Apps

You deploy Go binaries to AWS ECS, GCP Cloud Run, or Azure Container Apps by building a Docker image and pushing it to a container registry, then configuring the platform to pull and run that image.

go build -o main .
docker build -t my-go-app .
docker push my-registry/my-go-app:latest

For AWS ECS, create a task definition pointing to my-registry/my-go-app:latest and run aws ecs create-service. For GCP Cloud Run, run gcloud run deploy --image my-registry/my-go-app:latest. For Azure Container Apps, run az containerapp up --name my-app --image my-registry/my-go-app:latest.

Deploying Go to AWS ECS, GCP Cloud Run, or Azure Container Apps packages your code into a standard container format that any cloud provider can run. It is like putting your application in a shipping box, sending it to a warehouse (registry), and telling the warehouse which truck (service) to load it onto for delivery. You use this to run your software on the internet without managing the underlying servers.
