The Go Windows port added support for high-resolution timers in Go 1.23, boosting the resolution of time.Sleep from ~15.6ms to ~0.5ms.

Besides retries, circuit breakers are probably one of the most commonly employed
resilience patterns in distributed systems. While writing a retry routine is pretty simple,
implementing a circuit breaker needs a little bit of work.
I realized that I usually…

The go:embed feature simplifies the inclusion of static assets in your Go applications. By embedding files and directories at compile time, you can create more portable and self-contained binaries.

In the previous post, I looked into running transactions in a layered architecture. Now, let’s consider transactions that need to span more than one service.
If you work with microservices, a time may come when you need a transaction running across them.…

Happy 15th birthday, Go!

I'm starting this discussion to collect early feedback on a draft design for a kind of region-based memory management in Go. There is no prototype yet, only a design and a preliminary evaluatio...

Go’s runtime package provides two intriguing features: Finalizers and KeepAlive, which help manage object lifecycle in unique ways. Finalizers let you attach cleanup functions to objects that run when they’re garbage collected. Meanwhile, KeepAlive serves…

I was reading the language server protocol docs and about json-rpc for collaborating on a new project which will need an LSP server. Since it was getting a little boring to just read so much of documentations and RFCs, I thought of making a small and fun…

Security testing starts with understanding vulnerabilities. The CVE website lists known software flaws. The OWASP Top Ten highlights common weaknesses. With this knowledge, we can improve our Go development. This article shows how to put in place robust practices.…

The internet, in many ways, has a memory. From archived versions of old websites to search engine caches, there’s often a way to dig into…

Millions of developers love Go for its features, performance, ecosystem, and community. But there’s another, perhaps more compelling reason as well: Go is good for business. In this talk, we’ll review the business of Go, including the value it provides both…

Freedom is nothing without constraints, and Go’s generics gives us a powerful way to build polymorphic types and functions constrained by type sets . Let’s geek out.

[^1]: Go's built-in map type isn't concurrent safe. There's a [`sync.Map`](https://pkg.go.dev/sync#Map) type that can be used as an alternative, but it's generally not recommended unless you have done performance testing to confirm it's faster since it adds…
