Vilnius Golang Meetup 2026 Summer

Hey Gophers! 👋

Next meetup is locked in — June 10th at Omnisend (Verkių g. 25C). Big thanks to the Omnisend crew for hosting us this round! 🙌

Door opens 18:00
Event starts 18:30

This time we’ve got two AI talks and a scaling story — which honestly feels like a fair snapshot of where the industry is right now 😅

🤖 Teaching AI to build marketing forms — Mantas Sidabras (Omnisend)
How Omnisend built an AI-powered form generator from scratch using Go and MCP. Mantas walks through the architecture’s evolution, plus the lessons learned making it fast, reliable, and production-ready with automated quality checks.

📈 Story of the Billy: Struggles and Success of the Middle Child — Narūnas Kapočius (Cast AI)
Meet Billy — Cast AI’s billing team and the system they own. Sitting between product and finance, billing is the classic “middle child” of engineering: critical when it breaks, invisible when it works. Narūnas shares the journey from overcharging customers and firefighting edge cases to building a platform that scales reliably. Expect honest war stories, hard lessons, and the wins that made it all worth it.

🔧 Go meets AI coding agents — Žilvinas Bliūdžius (Cast AI)
Go and AI coding agents are unusually well-matched — fast compiles, strong types, gofmt. Žilvinas explores what makes the pairing work, where it quietly breaks, and how Cast AI handles the rough edges in kimchi.dev, their built coding harness.

Expect the usual: good talks, pizza & drinks 🍕, networking with fellow gophers, and a few surprises.
