Definitely got a little heated in this episode. I was so looking forward to getting a uuid package in the Go standard library, and now I'm just sad

[Fallthrough @fallthroughfm]

On this week's episode, @DylanBourque is back! He joins @skriptble and @sudomateo to discuss the UUID proposal, which Dylan thinks should have been the least contentious proposal in the history of Go!

I only made it for about half the episodes, but we managed to keep things rolling for a whole year! Looking forward to the future.

[Fallthrough @fallthroughfm]

We did a wrap up for the year episode called Stack Trace! We pulled a bunch of stats from the first year of Fallthrough. In this episode, @skriptble, @sudomateo, and @DylanBourque talk through these stats and how they feel about Fallthrough's first year.

The tech industry is terrible at marketing. From AI to Blockchain to Git, we miss innovation by focusing on the surface level. In this episode, @skriptble, @IanLopshire, @sudomateo, and @DylanBourque discuss this problem and its wider implications.

New episode alert!

@Angelica_Hill and @sudomateo are joined by special guest Cory O'Daniel to dive into DevOps. They discus what DevOps even is, why things are complicated, and why CEOs forget what it's like to be an IC.

Versioning! It's a topic that we deal with regularly, and yet many of us dread. Our ecosystems love SemVer, but many find it lacking. In this episode, Kris and Matt are joined by Jamie and Steve to talk about versioning.

Hear me out. What it we just did what nature does?

Really looking forward to this talk! Always interesting to see a new, unique take on software.

[GopherCon @GopherCon]

🧠 What if you could design Go systems the way nature designs organisms?

In “Goroutines and Cells: Lessons in Goal-Directed Systems,” @carlisia shows how biological principles like graded signaling and decentralized coordination can inspire more adaptive, scalable, and fault-tolerant Go concurrency.

Walk away with fresh mental models to level up your concurrent programming!

Our Kafka is cooler than yours 😉

Really, Bufstream can do things that Apache Kafka can't, and at a fraction of the operational cost.

Reach out if you're interested.

[Buf @bufbuild]

Can you tell the difference between the end-to-end latencies of a multi-region Bufstream cluster and a single-region one?

On the left is the single-region cluster from our last blog post.

On the right is a new test we just completed with 100 GiB/s writes replicated through two (!) cloud regions entirely through GCS.

A detailed blog post is coming soon, but to give out some details:

• 108 n2d-standard-32 brokers with Tier 1 networking.
• Dual-region GCS bucket with Turbo Replication.
• 9 node multi-region Spanner cluster with read-write nodes in us-west1 and us-west2; witness nodes in us-west3.

This setup is enough to handle 100 GiB/s writes and 300 GiB/s reads with active-active producers/consumers running in two regions simultaneously. On top of it all, it provides the best RPO/RTO guarantees in the industry with Spanner’s p99.999% multi-region uptime SLA and GCS’ p99 15 minutes replication SLA.

A single-region Apache Kafka cluster handling this load would be challenging. A stretch cluster is unthinkable.

We will leave the cost of that to your imagination 😊
