Welcome to our October 2026 Boston Go meetup at Datadog's Boston Office!
We are looking for speakers for the next few months! Please reach out to us on Gophers Slack in #boston or via bostongolang@gmail.com to sign up to speak. It can be short or long, and it can be beginner, intermediate, or advanced--all talks are welcome! Some talk ideas to get your creativity flowing:
An optimization you did at work
How to use an open-source Go library
A Go utility package you built as a side project
Something new you learned about Go itself
And remember, the organizers are here to help you prepare. Whether that's idea formation, slide review, or rehearsing, we are here to help! Contact us at bostongolang@gmail.com if you need help with coming up with a talk idea or preparing or presenting your talk!
----------------------
Talks begin at 6, but doors open at 5:30, so attendees can socialize beforehand and enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks!
Subcordant: Streaming Music with Friends over Discord Using a Server You Control
Andrew Katsikas - Pelotech
Discord music bots have a habit of disappearing overnight. Subcordant is a Go tool that streams from any Subsonic-compatible server into Discord voice calls — hear how it was built and see it live.
Watermill: Event driven applications made easy
Watermill makes it easy to get started with an event driven application running non go channels locally. And when you are ready to hit production you can easily swap out go channels for Kafka, Redis or Postgres.
Protofluff: A High Performance Protobuf Deserializer
Learn how to optimize protobuf at ludicrous speeds. In this talk we'll explore techniques for achieving performance improvements when off-the-shelf solutions just don't cut it.
