===[ TALK Agenda ]===================================================

10:15 to 11:00: Concurrency Done Right: Navigating Channels and Goroutines

Go’s concurrency model is a superpower, but it’s easy to create technical debt if you don’t have a systematic approach. Join Stuti Srivastava and Ankit Suthar as they break down the architectural challenges of using Goroutines and Channels in a modern Go stack. This talk focuses on the "how-to" of writing readable, maintainable, and highly performant concurrent code. We will cover common anti-patterns that lead to leaks, race conditions, and discuss how to structure your communication patterns for maximum clarity. Whether you're debugging a complex pipeline or architecting a new microservice, this session will give you the tools to write concurrent Go code with confidence.

11:15 to 12:00: Building a Zero-Trust Data Plane in Go: Controller/Worker Coordination in Boundary
In distributed systems, trust is not a static setting — it is enforced on every request path. Building a secure, distributed data plane in production is where the real engineering starts. In this talk, I’ll share how we use Go in HashiCorp Boundary to coordinate controllers and workers in a zero-trust architecture — and what we learned while doing it at scale. I’ll walk through real request paths from HTTP to gRPC, middleware and interceptor design, worker registration, and session routing, and how we use context propagation, metadata, and cancellation to keep the system safe and reliable.
I’ll also cover the hard parts: failure paths, operational trade-offs, and patterns that improved maintainability in a fast-moving codebase. This is a technical walkthrough with architecture diagrams and code references, focused on practical lessons you can apply to your own Go services. If you’re building distributed backend systems where trust boundaries, reliability, and developer velocity all matter, this session will give you concrete patterns and field-tested takeaways.
