**Carlisia Thompson:** That's incredible for you guys. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So what else have we got? Community Outreach Working Group - that was a couple days ago. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, we don't even know how to pronounce it. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Cow G? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, who knows... But we have a [Community Outreach Working Group](https://github.com/golang/cwg), and our goal is obviously to spread the love of Go throughout lots of communities, but more importantly, help people help others learn Go. You can read about that at [blog.golang.org](https://github.c... |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[52:09\] And feel free to jump in too, Cindy, if you can think of anything that's come up in the past week or so that anybody should know about. |
**Cindy Sridharan:** Actually, I read [a really good blog post](https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2017/09/optimizing-web-servers-for-high-throughput-and-low-latency/) yesterday. It doesn't really pertain to Go so much, but it really is about how to optimize services for both low latency and high throughput. I saw it on th... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Just tweeted that link out, too. Yes, very good blog post. My favorite kind. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I think I saw you tweet that out, Brian. I haven't got a chance to read it yet. On a similar note, Samsara - they do a IoT device for cars - they've got a blog post (we'll [link](https://medium.com/samsara-engineering/running-go-on-low-memory-devices-536e1ca2fe8f) it in the show notes). They're run... |
If you like low-level stuff, [davidwong.fr/goasm](http://davidwong.fr/goasm/) has a really cool walkthrough of some example Go code and how it translates to Go's internal Assembly language that it uses. So if you'd like to learn about that stuff, that's really interesting. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, you can keep the Assembly code. That's all you, buddy. |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[laughs\] I don't know, I like that stuff. I mean, I don't wanna sit here and write applications in Assembly, but I like being able to troubleshoot stuff and look through the actual assembly language that gets generated. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I've got one more news item - there's a good blog post at [blog.minio.io](https://blog.minio.io/data-at-rest-encryption-done-right-7446c644ddb6) about a new standard for data at rest encryption. The blog post summarized said basically that we do lots about encryption and transit, but there's no stan... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** That is fantastic. Actually, I was thinking about mentioning a blog post, but it might not have anything to do with Go. Does Signal use Go? The Signal app? I seem to recall that they do, I don't know why. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, I don't know. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** But really quick - Signal, the messaging app, they have a blog post explaining the encrypted profiles that they have now on public data... And I haven't finished reading the whole thing, but it's just things that you don't even think about that should be encrypted (or could be encrypted) and how ... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Good stuff. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** \[55:45\] And real quick, I wanted to go back to the Working Group news announcement, and just mention that it's for everybody. People frequently ask how they can get involved in the community - this is perfect, because they have a list of issues... First of all, you can open a new [issue](https:... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Nice. How about Free Software Friday? Cindy, this is a segment of the show where we like to give a shoutout to an open source project or a maintainer or a group, or pretty much anybody that's doing open source that we happen to appreciate, and it doesn't even have to be Go related. |
My Free Software Friday shoutout this week is to Minio, because I love them a lot, and they're doing awesome stuff in S3-compatible file storage, and releasing good tools just all around the board. They're great corporate citizens, and they're kind of awesome. |
**Cindy Sridharan:** Yeah, [Minio](https://github.com/minio/minio) is a super cool company. I really wanna thank Fabian. I don't know if you guys know him... [Fabian Reinartz](https://github.com/fabxc) He's a [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) core maintainer. That dude single-handedly rewrote the entire Prometheus s... |
I don't know if you've been following some of the blog posts and some of the new performance improvements, especially in the storage engine of Prometheus; it's coming up in the new 2.0 release. It's just super cool, so I really wanna thank Fabian for that. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh, that's awesome. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, sounds like beast mode. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Right? How about you, Carlisia? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I don't have a thing. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I'm gonna -- I know it's Free SOFTWARE Friday, but I'm gonna break that due to everything that's been going on... So with everything going on in Houston, the whole cajun army thing. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yes. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** No. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So there is a group of people kind of across the country that after Katrina kind of put themselves together... Volunteers, they call themselves the cajun army. When Houston was hit, they were driving from everywhere, bringing boats and everything like that; they had radios going back and forth, som... |
It's not software, but I think they deserve a huge shoutout, everybody who participated in any manner for that, because seeing people help people is just awesome. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, right on! And they're acting like the - I don't wanna use the word _unprofessional_, but unauthorized national guard; they're just stepping in where they need to help, and it's been amazing watching what they're doing. Unofficial, not unauthorized. |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[laughs\] Yeah, one sounds criminal... It's like, "Way to go, I just hyped them up, Brian", and then you called them criminals. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, they're criminals. It's fake news. |
**Cindy Sridharan:** Is it okay to thank another project, would it be fine? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Sure. |
**Cindy Sridharan:** The other project that sort of came out about a year ago but I think has gotten a lot of traction since has been [Envoy](https://www.envoyproxy.io/). I think Lyft open sourced it, and it's in the service mesh category. Everything that has to do with microservices and service-oriented architectures ... |
\[01:00:13.11\] What's been interesting in the recent few days, or rather in the recent few weeks is that... First things first, I think Envoy has -- I don't think it is a part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation as yet, but I believe they are voting on that, so I think that would be super cool. And more important... |
I think the main person driving Envoy development is Matt Klein at Lyft. I think he was primarily responsible for open sourcing it and for shepherding it ever since. I think he's just been doing some great work on this. More importantly, it kind of makes sense... And what's also really interesting about potentially bui... |
As we know, Kubernetes itself is based on the Borg scheduler that was developed at Google, and what I'm finding incredibly interesting is that a lot of the auxiliary tooling and a lot of the surrounding infrastructure is now being available for everyone to use, and that is actually pretty awesome. And it's also pretty ... |
I think Prometheus as well is an example of a tool that is built based on an internal Google tool, but then which fits in really well with the whole Kubernetes ecosystem, because it all just sort of plays really well with one another, and I think Envoy is another such tool. |
I think it's gonna be really interesting to see some of the developments in the infrastructure space in the next few years, because with Kubernetes rapidly approaching to being the standard way in which people are going to deploy applications in the future, it's going to be really interesting to see how other supportin... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** \[01:03:04.01\] And I wanna point out that Cindy has a [blog post talking about Envoy](https://medium.com/@copyconstruct/envoy-953c340c2dca) and comparing it to HAproxy and Nginx. It's a pretty cool post. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I've been following Envoy for a few months. I haven't got to play with it yet, and I've been itching too, and I'm hoping soon... It looks ridiculously cool and it's like wire-compatible with Mongo - a couple of databases - gRPC it supports natively, and some things like that. It's ridiculousl... |
**Cindy Sridharan:** Yeah, MongoDB and Dynamo. I believe they're adding Redis support as well. I think primarily as of now -- I think Google now have commit access to the repo. So it's just not Lyft's effort, I think at Google they have a dedicated team working just on Envoy, which is incredible that you can actually h... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, it will be really interesting to see how that comes along, especially if it becomes a [CNCF](https://www.cncf.io/) project. |
**Cindy Sridharan:** Right. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, so I think we are a little overtime, but we're good. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** What's new...? |
**Erik St. Martin:** We're always overtime. Didn't we start this out at like 20 minutes? Wasn't that gonna be the original goal when we started the podcast? |
