During the past year as maintainer, I found a set of common patterns people new to Go keep missing. In this talk I put them together as a set of actionable items that will dramatically help Go developers in their clean code journey.

A "practical experience" talk on how we slowly converted several test suites scattered in different repositories in a productized container that allows customer to validate the deployment of their platform.

Grpc is known as an “Rpc framework”. What is less known is how it internally works and the fact that a lot of “advanced features” such as service discovery, retries, tracing are really easy to enable in the Go implementation. In this talk I will describe this less known features of Grpc.
