Simplifying Scalable Cloud Application Development with Go
summary
Claims Go makes large cloud systems simpler and faster, citing Docker and Kubernetes and parse.com moving from Rails to Go to "save sanity." Concrete demos show goroutines and channels coordinating concurrent work, a fake Google search that fires web image and video backends in parallel, a select with timeout set to 80ms, and a hedged requests pattern (multiple replicas) that cuts long‑tail latency and largely eliminates timeouts. Tools shown include gofmt, goimports, godoc, the playground and App Engine.
