Talk 1: Interfacing with C for High-frequency Calls

Tobias Kunze from Glasnostic will discuss methods for interfacing with C for high-frequency calls. As fun as it is to code in Go, developers of high-performance systems will often need to interface with C binaries. CGo makes this easy but at a cost of considerable overhead, posing problems for high-volume calling scenarios. Tobias will discuss their learnings at Glasnostic in building a high-performance network router built on netmap. He will touch on performance-relevant aspects of CGo’s design and then discuss strategies that can help to mitigate them.

About the Speaker – Tobias Kunze is a co-founder at Glasnostic, a service which provides actionable visibility and predictable control in service-based enterprise architectures.

Talk 2: Working with Complex NoSQL Documents

In this talk, Nic Raboy will demonstrate how to create a fully functional RESTful API using the Go programming language and an open source NoSQL database called Couchbase. Communication between Go and the database will consist of a few techniques, including CRUD operations and SQL queries that are compatible with complex JSON data. This talk is a must see for anyone working with unstructured data and NoSQL databases.
