19:30-20:00 githubql - a Go Client for GitHub GraphQL API / Dmitri Shuralyov

githubql was the first Go client library for a GraphQL API (as far as I know). Creating it required answering questions like: What does a Go client for GraphQL look like? Is it even possible? What is a good API design? This talk will describe the thought process, decisions made, and trade-offs encountered. As featured in the Golang Weekly newsletter ( https://golangweekly.com/issues/162 ).

20:30-21:00 Go away: HTTP load shedding / Rob Vollmert

How do you keep your web app responding swiftly when you have more requests coming in than you can handle? In this talk, Rob presents our approach for handling request shedding in Go, developed for a real-time bidding platform.
