Generating Union Types from Go Structs w/ Static Analysis

Go doesn't have union types, but the server endpoints we've implemented in Go accept data with union types. This talk is about how we used static analysis and `go generate` to add union types to our autogenerated server docs and schema validation.

Whether you're a newcomer to Go or aspiring to delve into web application development using our favorite language, this session promises to be both enlightening and practical. Don't miss out on learning and taking your Go development skills to the next level!
