Go Slices and Subslices: Understanding Shared Memory and Avoiding `append()` Pitfalls 🔨

Go is often praised for its simplicity and efficiency — "Go just gets the job done," as they say. For those of us coming from languages like C, C++, or Java, Go’s straightforward syntax and ease of use is refreshing. However, even in Go, certain quirks can trip up developers, especially when it comes to slices and subslices. Let's uncover these nuances to better understand how to avoid common pitfalls with append() and shared memory in slices.

Real-Time Batching in Go 🔨

Batching is a well-known optimization technique. You see it everywhere: batch inserts in databases, MGET/MSET in Redis, various bulk APIs. The benefits are clear — it’s faster, cheaper, and less rate-limited. These benefits usually come at the cost of slightly more complex code and some boilerplate.

But how do we cleanly batch something we can’t see yet? Something that’s arriving in real time.

A round up of Go 1.24's performance improvements ❤️

We all want our code to run as fast as possible. But have you ever stopped to wonder how many microseconds it takes to do a map lookup in Go? Or how much memory gets allocated when you create a small object? The Go team thinks about this stuff constantly, and in Go 1.24, they’ve made some pretty exciting improvements that make everything about 2-3% faster.
