Package Management in Go: Under the Hood
summary
Company needs a Go module that wraps a C++ binary and is fetchable with `go get` only in specific situations. The publish flow uses an upstream proxy: `go get` queries proxy.golang.org, the proxy caches module zip and go.mod, then the tool verifies checksums against sum.golang.org or the local go.sum. For private or air‑gapped use the module registry can be replaced by an internal proxy such as Athens, and GOPROXY/GOSUMDB environment variables control visibility.
