tbls: CI-Friendly Tool for Documenting Databases — Auto document a database in Markdown format with schemas rendered via DOT, PlantUML, Mermaid, or images. By default you get docs covering columns, indexes, relations, and schema details (sample).

An Update on go-redis v9 — go-redis is a Redis client and now lives directly under the official Redis organization on GitHub. v9 adds support for the RESP3 protocol, OpenTelemetry-based performance monitoring, pipeline retries, and a new hooks API — it's a big update.

Goldmark 1.5: Markdown Parser Library — Pure Go, easy to extend, and CommonMark compliant (handy for GitHub-Flavored Markdown).

Go 1.20 Released — Hurrah – exactly six months after Go 1.19 comes the latest significant release of Go. Here’s some of what’s new:

Memory Arenas vs Traditional Memory Management — “Memory arenas” are very much an experimental concept in Go right now and should not be relied upon, but being able to obtain a single preallocated slab of memory within which related objects can be stored has some advantages worth exploring.

What’s New in Go 1.20, Part III — The latest in a series of posts digging into the details of Go 1.20, this time focusing on minor standard library changes, briefly covering tweaks to math/rand, path/filepath, httputil.ReverseProxy, and the introduction of strings.CutPrefix.

Improving the Observability of Go-Powered Services — Jumps straight into the practicalities of logging, metrics, tracing with TraceQL, and connecting profiling with tracing.

Introducing The Linear Developer Experience — Explore a new developer experience concept that turns complex and dreadful project work into a delightful and pleasant experience.

▶  How to Ace That CFP (Call For Papers) — A “call for papers/proposals” is when an event invites folks to submit talk proposals. Go Time brought on some conf organizers to talk about what they look for and how potential speakers can craft submissions.

gofeed 1.2: A Parser for RSS, Atom, and JSON Feeds — A mature, heavily relied upon on, and robust option for parsing RSS (in all common variants), Atom and JSON feeds. v1.2 adds support for multiple link tags in RSS feeds.

Dex: A Federated OpenID Connect (OIDC) Provider — An identity service that uses OpenID Connect to drive authentication for other apps.

Mocktail: A Tasty, Strongly Typed Mock Generator — A nifty tool that could potentially save you hours of frustration manually creating mocks, even if you’re using something like Testify.

▶  Ten Things I Hate About Go — These sorts of things are always popular but Jonathan has clearly put some thought into these, and demonstrates the issues in detail. (30 minutes.)

A Comprehensive Guide to Go's Generics — While there are a few guides like this, the list of examples at the end is worthwhile and qualifies this guide as bookmarkable.

How to Use AVX512 in Go via the C Compiler — Intel’s AVX512 instructions can process 512 bits of data in a single go, but can they be used from Go? Indirectly, yes.

Free eBook Download: Understanding Kubernetes (Updated Edition) — This resource covers everything K8s: from fundamental concepts to cluster components and network model implementation.

Using {Blocks} in Rust and Go for Fun and Profit — You don’t see a lot of explicit local blocks being used in Go, but they can be an effective method of avoiding boilerplate and handling intermediate variables.

gotestsum 1.9: go test Runner with Optimized Output and Summaries — Adds some niceties over the top of go test with a ‘watch’ mode to re-run tests when files are updated, the ability to run a command after a run (perhaps for an OS notification), and more human friendly test output along with a summary of each run.

Bob: SQL Query Builder and ORM/Factory Generator — With support for Postgres, MySQL and SQLite. Bob can be progressively adopted from raw SQL query strings, to fully typed queries with models and factories generated for a database.

Miniflux 2: Minimalist and Opinionated Feed Reader — So minimalist that no ORM or framework is used and only the most essential of JavaScript. GitHub repo.

Generating Diagrams Programmatically with D2 — This is useful! D2 is a Go-powered declarative diagram scripting tool and this post walks through using it from your Go code to generate a diagram of a database schema direct from a supplied SQL schema.

LiteFS: FUSE-Based SQLite Replication — From the genius mind of Ben Johnson (who you may know for the Go-based Bolt key/value store) comes a fresh take on scaling SQLite by using a FUSE-based file system to replicate SQLite transparently. Go is a fantastic fit for this sort of thing. v0.3.0 adds WAL support.

More on What’s Coming in Go 1.20 — The second post in a three-part series, where Carl covers new additions such as the (now considered ‘truly experimental’ and semi-‘removed’) memory arenas package, multierrors, and http.ResponseController (an extended interface for ResponseWriter).
