21:00-21:30 I wrote 2 lines of Go and they broke things / Emanuele Rocca

This is the story of why and how the CDN serving Wikipedia uses a Go tool for log inspection and metrics gathering. We will see a silly bug that caused memory usage to constantly grow, the way the bug was tracked down with profiling (pprof) and dynamic instrumentation (SystemTap), as well as the fix.

We use Go, Java and Javascript to power the sales campaigns where the time and the stock are limited - our members have to act fast in order to get their hands on their favorite items because once the products are gone, they are gone.
