Hi London Gophers! π
We're currently getting this page set up, but why not save the date?
We look forward to seeing you soon!
π£β‘ Adelina Simion - Cloud Confused - Differences Between Public Cloud Vendors
Moving to the cloud has been the fight of the past decade, with multi-cloud architectures becoming the newest hot topic. However, most engineers have only worked in 1 or perhaps 2 public cloud vendors. Comparing offerings requires reading the docs of each, which is laborious and time consuming.
In this lightning talk, we will explore the strengths and differences of the three main public cloud vendors - AWS, GCP, and Azure. Attendees will get an overview of the key offerings of each vendor (compute, specialised services, and hybrid cloud) and learn the popular choices for common problems.
Join me for a whistle stop tour in the clouds!
π£β‘ Salman Shah - Layoffs 2022: The What, The Why and How Do You Get Past It
π£ Dominic Black - The Adventurerβs Guide to Forking the Go Runtime
It is generally seen as a scary thing to do: modifying the Go runtime. However, by creating a rolling fork, we can add functionality such as distributed tracing to regular Go applications without needing modifications to the applications or the library code they use.
In this talk, we walk through adding new functionality to Go, starting by showing how Goβs tooling makes it simple to create and maintain a fork. How we can add new functionality to the runtime library, and modify core Go concepts, such as Go routines to carry additional information.
Weβll then use this knowledge to build a demo version of a distributed tracing system which can perform request tracing all the way from a HTTP request hitting an API server, going through multiple micro-services to a query being made to your database server.
