| title | author | length |
|---|---|---|
| "State of Go" | Cameron Balahan | 26m |
History and concrete results drive the update: go 1.5 rewrites the compiler and runtime from C to Go and ships a much faster garbage collector; modules land… | ||
| "Using Golang for Platform Engineering" | Lesley Cordero | 37m |
Argues that Go’s robustness, concurrency model and cross‑platform binaries make it practical for platform engineering and shows concrete artifacts: runtime… | ||
| "Rush Tactics: Writing Go Code You Won’t Regret Later" | Johnny Boursiquot | 35m |
Shows concrete tactics: avoid importing big SDK interfaces by defining a tiny local interface (example PutItemWithContext for DynamoDB), use context… | ||
| "Abstractions are Dead, Long Live Abstractions!" | Alan Shreve | 27m |
ngrok becomes an embeddable Go library that exposes a one line of code API which connects to global points of presence and returns a net listener that surfaces… | ||
| "ko: The Only Good Way to Build Go Containers" | Jason Hall | 15m |
ko runs go build to produce a binary, stitches it onto a tiny base image, and pushes the image with registry HTTP APIs so there is no Docker daemon required… | ||
| "The Cryptography State of the Union" | Filippo Valsorda | 34m |
Recent work lists concrete changes and results: a new crypto/ecdh byte-oriented API replaces the error-prone X/Y surface, TLS 1.0/1.1 are disabled by default… | ||
| "Go Big! Go Enterprise" | Moieed Ahmed, Lee Tsai | 24m |
Capital One teams use Go to build microservices, backend‑as‑a‑service layers, data pipelines and cloud compliance tooling running on Lambda functions… | ||
| "Redesigning Gopls for 10x Scale" | Alan Donovan, Robert Findley | 41m |
Claim: gopls is rearchitected to avoid one giant pointer graph by using object paths, per-package-level indexes and a persistent content-addressable file cache… | ||
