Gophers Meetup - Sep 2019

Hello Gophers! Announcing the Go Programming Language Sep 2019 meetup!

Talks for the night:
7pm "Concurrency in Data Streaming Pipeline" - by Gentur

Data Pipelining is a common term used when a data is “moved” from one data source to another. During this moving process, we may want to do things with it, such as transforming into another data structure, or filtering some of the data.

One commonplace requirement of the data streaming pipeline is that we need to maintain the order for particular data from the beginning until the end. Take, for example, when we want to make a replica of our database into a cache by tracking the data changes in the database.

This talk will cover how we create a high-performance data pipeline in Golang that maintains the order in which the data came up until the receiving end by leveraging concurrency.

8pm "Building your web service into one binary file" - by Jay

Go applications are easily deployed because they are statically compiled. But it is tedious to manage many static assets (images, etc) that are needed in a web service. One solution is to compile the necessary files into a binary. Jay will share about using the go-bindata library (https://github.com/kevinburke/go-bindata) to build a single binary file that contains the server and website. And finally, how we dockerize it and deploy to a server.
