Location: ING Hubs Romania

This is a cross-event with Cloud Native Bucharest meetup.

Join us on **Thursday, June 26th**, for another hands-on edition of **Backend Developers of Bucharest**, hosted by **ING Hubs Romania**! This time we’re going deep into **Go-powered backend systems**, from modernizing legacy infrastructure to extending Kubernetes with custom operators.

Here’s what’s on the agenda:

## **🎤 Talk 1: The Journey to Modernize a High-Performing Microservice in Golang**

**🕗 19:00 – 19:30 Speaker:** **Petrică Voicu** (Principal Software Engineering Manager – Azure Cloud Storage)

PayPal’s internal database proxy—originally built in C++ back when Elon Musk was still at the helm—has served well for decades. But it was time for a change. In this session, Petrică will share the challenges and learnings from rewriting this mission-critical microservice in Go, modernizing it without disrupting performance or scale.

## **🎤 Talk 2: Extending Your Apps with Kubernetes: A RabbitMQ Consumer Operator Built with Go**

**🕗 19:30 – 20:00 Speaker:** **Mihai Gogu** (Platform Engineer @ AdoreMe Tech)

Why should applications always adapt to infrastructure? What if infrastructure adapted to applications? In this talk, Mihai presents a Kubernetes operator built with Go and Kubebuilder that dynamically manages RabbitMQ consumers based on real-time queue activity. The result: smarter resource usage, less waste, and a more proactive platform.

📍 **Location:** ING Hubs Romania, Calea Victoriei, 174-176
📅 **Date:** Thursday, June 26, 2024
🕖 **Time:** 19:00 – 21:00 (talks + networking)

Come for the Go insights, stay for the community! 🚀
