Java to Golang: An Intro

Golang is a popular second language choice for Java developers but coming at Golang from Java can be confusing. Let's try to get our bearings with Golang and its ecosystem. We'll aim to get a feel for Go code but most of all the way the ecosystem works, how dependencies are handled and the landscape of tools.

The shift from Java to Golang has challenges at a language level. But more challenging is learning your way around without Spring Boot selecting libraries and offering canonical uses.

Kubernetes Operators with Go: A Short Case Study with Zeebe

Go’s support for Kubernetes is awesome. Here, Mauricio Salatino will dive into what you can achieve by walking us through how the Zeebe operator creates Kubernetes resources to satisfy Custom Resource requests.

Java vs Challenger Languages

Java recently lost the ‘most popular language’ crown. Is it still cool? Are challenger languages like Go stealing its mojo? We’ll discuss why perceptions of Java might be shifting and reasons to be hopeful about its future.
