Docker for Go fresher interviews covers what makes Go special in containerised environments. This module covers a basic Dockerfile for a Go application (FROM golang as builder, COPY go.mod go.sum, RUN go mod download, COPY ., RUN go build, then a minimal final stage), the Go multi-stage build pattern (why it produces a small image — the final stage only needs the compiled binary, not the Go toolchain), CGO_ENABLED=0 for building a fully static binary that runs in a scratch or distroless container, running the compiled Go binary in Docker (docker run, exposing ports, passing environment variables with -e), and Docker Compose for running a Go service with its dependencies (a simple compose file connecting a Go HTTP service to a PostgreSQL container). The interview question freshers encounter most: 'what is a multi-stage Docker build and why is Go particularly well-suited to it?'
