Virtual August Meetup

We are looking for speakers for the next few months! Please reach out to us on Gophers Slack in #boston or via https://papercall.io/bostongolang to sign up to speak. It can be a short or long and it can be beginner, intermediate, or advanced--all talks welcome! Some talk ideas to get your creativity flowing:
- An optimization you did at work
- How to use an open source Go library
- A Go utility package you built as a side project
- Something new you learned about Go itself

And remember the organizers are here to help you prepare. Whether that's idea formation, slide review, or rehearsing, we are here to help!

----------------------
If you have trouble setting up zoom you can reach out in the #boston channel of the Gophers Slack. To sign up for the Slack visit https://invite.slack.golangbridge.org and join us today.

Talks begin at 7, but the Zoom meeting opens at 6:30 so attendees can socialize beforehand!

Title: Heap Optimizations for Go Systems
Speaker: Nishant Roy
Description:
Go programs are susceptible to severe performance regressions at a large scale due to garbage collection (GC), resulting in degraded user experience. Learn about how Go GC works and how to lower its impact on your program’s performance!

Title: The Observant Developer - OpenTelemetry from code to prod
Speaker: Roni Dover
Description:
Observability can be about more than pretty dashboards, it can be a powerful tool for designing better code. In this talk, we’ll look at practical ways of leveraging OpenTelemetry and open-source tools to validate code changes, glean production insights and improve coding practices.
