Go Large!
summary
Estimates put Kubernetes at about ~500k lines of human-written Go and a group of Grafana backend projects Cortex, Loki and Tempo at ~300k lines combined; retries from clients caused a Grafana Cloud outage, so a shared library DS Kit is created to handle sharding, consistent hashing and retries across hundreds of machines; communication patterns are either JSON over HTTP or gRPC/protobuf, and remaining pain points are inefficient encodings, brittle sharding, caching ergonomics and opportunities for generics to improve Go caches.
