Reliability Nirvana

Explore the world of event-driven architectures in this 57-minute GopherCon 2021 talk by Daniel Selans. Dive into the intricacies of building reliable distributed systems using Go, covering essential topics such as event-driven design principles, Go's suitability for distributed systems, message systems like Kafka and RabbitMQ, and the benefits of using protobuf. Learn about recommended libraries and patterns, and gain practical insights through a code demo featuring Docker Compose setup, consumer functions, order processing, and automatic recovery. Understand who should consider or avoid event-driven architectures, and discover how to achieve "reliability nirvana" in your Go-based distributed systems.
