I’m pretty sure that anyone learning Go has heard that “goroutines are like lightweight threads” and that “it’s okay to launch hundreds, thousands of goroutines”. Some people learn that “a goroutine takes up around 2 kilobytes”, most likely referencing the Go 1.4 release notes, and even fewer learn that this represents its initial stack size.

Introduction In this paper written by Manish Jain (the founder of Dgraph) he describes Dgraph as: a distributed graph database which provides horizontal scalability, distributed cluster-wide ACID transactions, low-latency arbitrary-depth joins, synchronous replication, high availability, and crash resilience. There are many claims being stated here which frankly I didn’t understand the meaning of the first time I read this sentence. I decided I wanted to better understand these claims with the hope that it would help me understand Dgraph’s architecture and engineering decisions better.

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Exploring golang - can we ditch Python for go? And have we finally found a use case for go? Part 1 explores high-level differences between Python and go and gives specific examples on the two languages, aiming to answer the question based on Apache Beam and Google Dataflow as a real-world example.

In Part 2 of our comparison of Python and go from a Data Engineering perspective, we'll finally take a look at Apache Beam and Google Dataflow and how the go SDK and the Python SDK differ, what drawbacks we're dealing with, how fast it is by running extensive benchmarks, and how feasible it is to make the switch

Go’s infamous error handling has caught quite the attention from outsiders to the programming language, often touted as one of the language’s most questionable design decisions. If you look into any project on Github written in Go, it’s almost a guarantee you’ll see the lines more frequently than anything else in the codebase:
