Ably was the delegate sponsor at GopherCon UK 2021 held in London. The conference featured keynotes and talks on various topics related to Go programming language, including distributed face-recognition running on Kubernetes, instrumenting Go applications with Open Telemetry, and optimizing Go for clouds. Ably team members attended the event for learning and development purposes as well as to represent Ably and help run a hackathon. The overall winner of the hackathon was Ably Text, which used Ably's API to broadcast tweet counts in real-time.
