Building a Debuggable Go Server

Thursday, 30 August, 2018 - 11:3512:00

Abstract: 

Microservice architectures bring flexibility and scalability to service-based applications, however, they also drastically increase their operational complexity. This presentation will explore how Improbable uses a common Go server with built-in debuggability as a basis for new services, minimizing the complexity inherent in microservices. This server provides consistent metrics, logging, tracing, and more, to deliver a reliable system, and it is now open-source!
