Overview

This book provides a practical, architecture-focused guide to building modern full-stack web applications using a server-driven approach. It shows how Go, HTMX, SQLite, PocketBase, Tailwind, and template-based rendering work together to create fast, reliable, and maintainable systems without heavy frontend frameworks or complex build pipelines. The emphasis is on clarity, operational safety, predictable workflows, and a development model that favors simplicity while still supporting realtime interaction, collaboration, and scalable behavior. Instead of treating tools as isolated technologies, the book explains how they form a cohesive stack. Each chapter moves from concepts into structured workflows, patterns, and real implementation detail. The material focuses on lifecycle thinking: how applications are built, how they evolve, how they are deployed, and how they remain reliable over time. The book includes a full end-to-end capstone project that demonstrates the stack in a realistic setting. What Is Inside the Book - Clear explanation of the server-driven development philosophy. - Practical guidance for structuring Go projects and organizing workspaces. - Patterns for handlers, routes, templates, layouts, and component reuse. - HTMX interaction models including partial updates, workflows, and UX behavior. - SQLite schema discipline, indexing strategy, migration safety, and reliability practices. - PocketBase integration for authentication, collections, realtime events, and access control. - UI workflow with Tailwind focused on layout, structure, iteration, and reuse. - Data modeling, constraints, integrity guarantees, and operational safety habits. - Development workflows, environment setup, and iteration rhythms. - Testing approaches for domain logic, integration behavior, and end-to-end flows. - Deployment patterns including single-binary packaging and embedded assets. - Production-readiness topics such as monitoring, logging, resilience, and rollback strategy. - Incident handling, failure recovery, and long-term maintenance planning. - A complete capstone project that ties concepts into a working full-stack system. - Reference appendix with commands, workflows, style conventions, and terminology. Why This Book Was Written - To provide an alternative to complexity-heavy frontend-centric stacks. - To show how modern interaction is possible without large client frameworks. - To promote architectural clarity, predictability, and operational discipline. - To teach patterns that scale in practice, not only in theory. - To help developers build systems they understand and can maintain long term. - To highlight the strengths of Go as a full-stack backend foundation. - To demonstrate how HTMX, SQLite, and PocketBase complement server logic. - To bridge the gap between coding tutorials and real engineering workflows. - To emphasize reliability, resilience, and lifecycle thinking from the start. - To support builders who want simplicity without sacrificing capability. Who This Book Is For - Backend developers moving toward full-stack responsibility. - Engineers who prefer straightforward architecture over tool-driven complexity. - Developers building products, admin tools, dashboards, or internal systems. - Teams adopting server-rendered applications with modern interaction patterns. - Technical founders and indie builders seeking lean and maintainable stacks. - Practitioners interested in SQLite-based deployment and single-binary delivery. - Developers who value operational safety, testing, and reliability practices. - Learners new to Go who want a structured and practical entry path. - Experienced engineers exploring HTMX and server-driven workflows. - Anyone looking for a cohesive approach to designing
