What we've been doing with Go

What's this blog post about?

In November 2013, John Graham-Cumming discussed how CloudFlare has been using the Go programming language for various services. These include handling compression for high-latency HTTP connections, their entire DNS infrastructure, SSL, load testing and more. The company started with one project in Go but now has many major projects in it. Some of these projects are RRDNS, Railgun, Red October, and SSL Bundler. They also experimented with CoreOS and Docker, and have open-sourced several Go libraries. CloudFlare continues to use Go extensively and is hiring Go programmers in London and San Francisco.
