Go, a cloud-native programming language, has become increasingly popular, as evidenced by its ranking as the third most wanted language in a StackOverflow survey. The text discusses the necessity of Go modules, highlighting how they ensure repeatable builds and immutable dependencies, contrasting this with the limitations of vendoring. It explains how to create a Go module using the `go mod init` command and explores two methods for managing modules: using the goc utility or Artifactory. The goc utility automates module resolution from GoCenter, while Artifactory provides a more comprehensive solution, allowing developers to resolve and cache Go modules using either the GOPROXY environment variable or the JFrog CLI. The JFrog CLI, particularly since version 1.26.0, enhances the integration with Go by supporting the same syntax as the Go client, offering a streamlined setup process via a configuration YAML file. The text encourages developers to try these methods using a test drive option for Artifactory, which provides temporary access to a cloud-based server for experimentation.
