Developing Microservice with GO
Introduction
A simple Notes application that will demonstrate how to write a microservice in GO. This application will provide CRUD API operations for notes. This application will be deployed to Kubernetes in a docker container.
Takeaways for Audience from this talk
* Audience will have a full working API service written in GO with Dockerfile & Kubernetes deployment definition with full access to source code in github
* Solid foundation of concepts to write microservice in GO
A working example of Dockerfile for a GO application & how to build GO code in container
* A working example of Kubernetes Deployment resource that demonstrate ReplicaSet & Rolling deployment concept.

Talk #2
TwirpQL: REST & GraphQL Servers For Free
Summary
In this talk we will look at the benefits of both REST APIs & GraphQL & I will argue that they compliment each other rather than compete.
I will demo Twirp (an idiomatic Go API framework) & I will also demo gqlgen: a flexible Go GraphQL implementation.
Then I will demo TwirpQL a plugin that I wrote in my free time to combine both programs so you only focus on writing business logic.
Details
I will start by talking about my experience at the New York Times writing services where we had to manually maintain a GraphQL -> REST proxy. Furthermore, for services that didnt use GraphQL they had to manually write clients in their own languages to reach our services.
This gets broken down into two things: The Who & The How. The Who dictates The How: Browsers & mobile like to use GraphQL, while servers like to use RPC-based systems or wrapping a Client over the transport (whether REST or GraphQL) so that their own business logic does not get tainted with transport-details.
The problem with supporting both models, is that you have a lot of plumbing code to write & maintain, this is where TwirpQL comes to help.
TwirpQL combines two popular open source projects: Twirp & gqlgen. TwirpQL lets you define your server in a Protobuf format, which you can use to generate a REST server/client/swagger. Then TwirpQL can be used to generate a GraphQL layer that knows how to call the exact server implementation as well.
