GoLang: Go modules for package management during a multi-stage Docker build

My previous article on multi-stage builds to create  Docker images for Go laid the foundation for using an intermediate image as the builder your Go binary.  However, this example was intentionally simplistic and did not address package and dependency management. Since the release of Go 1.11, the standard tooling has natively supported the concept of GoLang: Go modules for package management during a multi-stage Docker build

GoLang: Using multi-stage builds to create clean Docker images

But the GoLang: Using multi-stage builds to create clean Docker images
