Talks
Go, pls stop breaking my editor.
This talk will cover the motivation behind, implementation of, and future plans for gopls, the Go implementation of the Language Server Protocol (LSP). This tool is currently being developed and maintained by the Go team and broader Go tools community, and it will ultimately serve as the backend for any LSP-compatible editor.
Rebecca Stambler

Desktop application in 30 minutes.
In this talk, we explore this domain, see what tools we have available, state of the art in Desktop development with Go and what's next. The talk will start by questioning where is Go used and why. Then we'll have a look at the available options which are actively maintained to create a Desktop application. Following these steps, we'll dive right in into creating one such application.
Florin Patan

Message-driven application made easy with Watermill.
Do you think that building message-driven applications is hard? What if I told you that implementing production grade message-driven application which is resilient, fast and easy to debug can be as easy as implementing a HTTP API based application?
Robert Laszczak
Three Dots Labs
Bitmap indexes. What's that and why they help us achieve unbelievable search speed. Usage examples.
Inside DBMS we use indexes to speed up searching. And everybody heard about B-trees, most widely known data structure used for this. It is also the most versatile data structure. I want to tell you about less known, but no less interesting approach called bitmap index. We will see how it works, when it's better, when it's worse and when it can be orders of magnitude faster. We will see which databases already use bitmap indexes and write our own in Go. And then we are going to use available libraries to write our own ultra-fast specialized database.
Marko Kevac
Badoo
Security checklist for Go-developers.
Let's look at a Go app as an onion graph "Data - Code - Infrastructure" and highlight potential safety problems and possible solutions for each layer. We'll talk about automation and the role of security in DevOps culture. I will offer a check-list that will help Go developers not to forget to pay attention to important aspects of security, regardless of whether they are developing a high-load service or a company workflow automatization tool.
Elena Grahovac
N26

How not to go wrong with concurrency.
This talk will dive into developing concurrent and maintainable systems. Go is a great language for this kind of systems, but Go's simplicity can be deceiving. We will talk about both the fundamental concepts as well as the practical nuances of implementation. Come to learn best (and worst) practices when working with concurrency in Go.
Artemiy Ryabinkov
Avito
Golang race detector.
Data races are nasty kinds of bugs; rare, hard to replicate and tend to occur at the worst possible moment. Their effect is undefined, detection hard, almost impossible without expensive formal verification and static analysis tools...Or is it? This talk focuses on ThreadSanitizer, a library for detecting race conditions at run-time. It originated in clang & C++ community and its use spread to go (-race), rust, java, and some other languages. It covers how it works conceptually, and necessary background for its understanding, building from DJIT+ and Fast track to ThreadSanitizer v2.
Neven Miculinic
Kraken Systems
Chatting through Go.
The "chat problem" shows up several kinds of problematics, such communications one-to-one, one-to-many (channels), many-to-many (rooms), which solution can be applied in several different environments. Two of the main approaches are websockets and the XMPP protocol, which obviously can be implemented with Go, taking advantage of its features such as the concurrency model. Let's see it!

Atrápalo
Why You Should Try SCTP In Your Next Go Back-end Project.
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol has never gained traction on consumer devices. However, SCTP implements quite a number of exciting features, such as really working multi-homing, path selection and transparent fail-over, multi-streaming, connection states notifications, improved error correction and flood attack prevention. This made SCTP a protocol of choice for heavy duty telecom applications, so most of the signalling traffic all over the world today is delivered over SCTP. SCTP use in Go was somewhat complicated due to the very intrinsic networking. The Go 1.11 however simplified adding new socket types a bit, and a few Go SCTP implementation are available now for your next project already. We will discuss what is SCTP, why it perfectly fits Go application model for distributed services and how to start using it right away.
Alexey Naydenov
IToolLabs
Building cloud-native apps with Go.
Many of us create micro-service systems with GO. Every time you start a new project, you must do some basic choices: transport, communication protocol, version control, fail-safety, scalability and so on. We'll discuss how go-micro framework solves all these problems in terms of module architecture. I'll show you how you could use this framework in your projects.
Alex Gorbylev
IBC Labs
Sins of performance optimization.
In the pursuit of performance, it is often necessary to move to the "dark side", sacrificing the quality of the code and the clarity of the API. This report will reveal some of these sins on examples from my practice.
Aliaksandr Valialkin
VictoriaMetrics
Numerical time series database development with Go from scratch.
In collaboration with Siemens, we have developed a fast and scalable distributed time series database that can search complex queries on billions of records in 100 milliseconds or retrieve 15 million records per second. I want to share with you the history of this project and overview some specific Go development problems we faced.

Javascript in Go: how we store interpreted logic in the configuration.
Go is a cool and fast compiled language. But sometimes it is necessary to store some logic in the configuration so that you can change this logic without recompiling the application. What should we do? I will tell you how we managed it using the JavaScript interpreter. We'll discuss possible mistakes, how to test, and whether this solution is worth using in production.
Alexey Shayhaleev
Aviasales.ru
How to split out a monolith and wrap it up in a Go-microservice.
In this talk we'll discuss how to move your code in a microservice: cut off external dependencies, build the service and switch load smoothly without any production failure.
Pavel Lakosnikov
Avito
How to cook Go linters.
There are 50 + Go linters. What is their profit and how to effectively integrate them into the development process? This talk will be useful both for those who do not use linters and those who already use them: I will reveal little-known tricks and practices of linters magic.
Denis Isaev
Yandex
Developing Go-app with cgo.
We develop backend IPTV platform with Go using Reindexer database connected as cgo module. In this talk I will talk about:
- Profits we received in comparison with a classical network connection to a standalone server;
- The traps, the pitfalls, and how to avoid it;
- Methods of profiling and debugging we use.

go generate: One File to Rule Them All.
Code generation is ultimately the fifth stage of grief over Go's lack of generics. We've come to accept that Go doesn't have generics (yet!) but we still want to avoid the tedious task of writing duplicate code. With go generate we have a powerful tool to avoid writing boilerplate code. Using the Abstract Syntax Tree (ast) package we can extract sufficient information from an API file to generate middlewares (logging, instrumentation, etc.) and even documentation.

CUE: a data constraint language and shoo-in for Go.
A configuration language needs to balance compactness with complexity. Most language end up being too complex for the value they provide. We show that inheritance is the culprit and provide an alternative: constraints. CUE's constrain describe configurations more compactly while at the same time validating them. Constraints sound scary, but actually look very familiar. The result is more readable and more correct configurations. CUE also has a rich Go API that allows you to analyze and manipulate your configurations. One of the provided tools, "trim", uses it to automatically rewrite your existing configurations given some templates, often considerably reducing them in size. A demo shows its power applied to 2000 lines of Kubernetes YAML. At the end of the 10 minute demo, the YAML is converted and refactored into compact CUE, with all Kubernetes objects neatly mapped into a single namespace. We also show how to extend the cue CLI tool with custom commands to operate on our configuration using CUE's declarative scripting layer. Finally we show how CUE can automatically extract CUE templates from your Go code that you can use to type check your data. As a separate thread throughout the talk, I'll explain how the idea for CUE was conceived, that it actually predates BCL, and why it wasn't implemented before.
