Go meetup CRAFT Edition

The famous CRAFT Conference takes place between 26-29 April and the Go meetup comes with a special CRAFT Edition.

To have some networking and relaxation after the fantastic meetup an afterparty will be organized at Google Grund (http://en.googleground.hu/index) (1082 Budapest, Nagytemplom u. 30. (https://www.google.hu/maps/place/Google+Ground/@47.4847942,19.0740895,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x4741dcf761796f2f:0xe90e5ec36e0bf962)) from 8:30PM.

Since the very beginning CoreOS bet the farm on Go, even before it became the popular language it is today. CoreOS builds and ships components that enable users to create distributed systems from the ground up. Just about everything CoreOS builds including our popular open source projects such as etcd, fleet, and rocket are built using Go; this also holds true for most CoreOS commercial offerings.

But how did we do it? What challenges did we face?

In this talk we will answer these questions and provide a retrospective, if you will, on using Go at CoreOS over the years.

Peter Bourgon (https://twitter.com/peterbourgon) - Go kit: Go in the modern enterprise
Go might just be the perfect language for microservices: small, purpose-driven, and efficient. But microservices have a common set of concerns that aren't addressed by Go's standard library, like circuit breaking, rate limiting, instrumentation, and adapters to service discovery and tracing systems. In this talk I'll describe Go kit, a toolkit for microservices in Go, and how it tries to bridge these gaps with as little opinion as possible. I hope I can convince you to try out Go and Go kit for your next project!
