gopy: extending CPython with Go
Applications and libraries do not live in a vacuum. This is of course true for Go packages and commands. More often than not, you need your code to interact with legacy applications or old and battle tested libraries.
NATS: High Performance Cloud Native Messaging Written in Go
Performance at scale is critically important for anybody attempting to build distributed systems today. Pieces of a given service might be spread across physical or virtual infrastructure, or might be comprised of thousands or even millions of devices (Internet of Things).
Generate and Use Free TLS Certificates with Lego
If your Go program uses the transport layer of the network at all—whether to serve static files, an API, or something else over the wire—you should be encrypting connections using TLS.
test2doc: Generate Your API Docs
API docs are important. We all know that. They are also painful and tedious to maintain. When your docs aren’t accurate, you get more questions.
Integrating Go in a Yocto-based project
From its website, Yocto, part of the Linux Foundation Collaborative Projects, is an open source collaboration project that provides templates, tools and methods to help you create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products regardless of the hardware architecture.
Composable command-line tools
Go’s simplicity and exhaustive standard library means writing command-line tools is easy and enjoyable. Following the Go philosophy, if you write programs that are small and focussed, you can end up with a pretty powerful little toolbelt of utilities.
Announcing GopherCon 2016
GopherCon 2016 will take place at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado on July 11th through July 13th, 2016. We’ve listened to the feedback you gave us from GopherCon 2015 and want to explain the changes we’re putting in place for GopherCon 2016.
Reducing boilerplate with go generate
Go is an awesome language. It’s simple, powerful, has great tooling and many of us really enjoy using it every day. However, as it usually happens with strongly typed languages, we write a good deal of boilerplate to connect things around.
Hooking libc using Go shared libraries
Alastair O’Neill gave a talk at the BSides Manchester security conference in August about userland rootkits that use the LD_PRELOAD mechanism. Most of these rootkits are written in C.
Go in a Monorepo
A “monorepo” is a monolithic code repository which contains many different projects and libraries. At DigitalOcean, we have created a monorepo called cthulhu to house all of our Go code.
