When it comes to test organization, Go’s standard testing library only gives you a few
options. I think that’s a great thing because there are fewer details to remember and fewer
things to onboard people to. However, during code reviews, I often see people contravene...
When developing applications that interact with object storage like AWS S3, it’s useful to have a local setup that mimics the real service. MinIO is an open-source S3-compatible object storage server that fits perfectly for this purpose.

Go has support for subtests starting from version 1.7. With t.Run, you can nest tests,
assign names to cases, and let the runner execute work in parallel by calling t.Parallel
from subtests if needed.
For small suites, a flat set of t.Run calls is usually enough. That’s whe...

Writing concurrent programs is easy, but understanding why they don’t work
is much harder. In our continuing tutorial, we’ll learn about when and why
goroutines starve, sleep, or yield.
This post is an introduction to consistent hashing,
an algorithm for designing a hash table such that only a small portion of
keys has to be recomputed when the table's size changes.
Motivating use case
Suppose we're designing a caching web proxy,
but the expected storage demand...
