⭐ TALKS
▪ Go 1.24 and Swiss Tables – New implementation of map (Vladimir Saraikin)
This talk explores the evolution of Go’s map implementation from Go 1.23 to Go 1.24. We will review the previous design, examine the new implementation, and compare their architectural differences. The session will cover performance characteristics, collision handling strategies, the role of SIMD optimizations, and limitations of the earlier approach.

▪ Embedded Postgres in Go (Oleg Kovalov)
So you want to test your Go code against Postgres on CI. The first — and probably the most correct — way is to use Docker. But what if you could ship Postgres inside your binary? 🚀

▪ Beyond the Backend: How Go Engineers are Becoming Product Powerhouses (Piotr Niewęgłowski)
For years, Gophers have been categorized as either "Platform" or "Product." But in 2026, the most impactful engineers are the ones who refuse to be boxed in. Join me for a deep dive into the evolution of the Product Engineer. We’ll explore how backend specialists are transcending the server side to become true end-to-end owners. Stop just writing code, start building products.
