They are probably pushing more traffic through Go than any other group on the planet. It's nice of them to share what they come across, and it's also good PR for them. Hell, even I want to work for them now.

  On that note: Hypothetically speaking, what would take for a wanna-be candidate that knows Go but doesn't have relevant work experience on CloudFlare's area of expertise to get up to speed?

    Apply. We have a very diverse team of backgrounds. Getting up to speed isn't a problem.

      Hi. Could I speak to you about this?

  I'm in Taiwan and moving to Japan in a few months, so that's out of the question even though I've got 2.5 years of Go under my belt. :(

With the exception of Google.
- outworlder 11y ago
  The possible exception of Google. I wouldn't be surprised if Cloudflare had more traffic exercising Go programs.
  - jrv 11y ago
    Possible, yeah. The highest-throughput Go usage I'm aware of within Google is https://github.com/youtube/vitess https://github.com/youtube/vitess, Youtube's MySQL load balancer: "a fundamental component of YouTube's MySQL infrastructure, serving thousands of QPS per server". Not sure how that compares to Cloudflare's global traffic though, and what other high-throughput Go usages exist at Google.

      Thanks for this, it'll be nice to go through this a bit and learn how Go is used from inside Google.

      Apparently dl.google.com is powered by Go. I'm guessing that get's a fair bit of traffic too. http://talks.golang.org/2013/oscon-dl.slide http://talks.golang.org/2013/oscon-dl.slide

  Dropbox's block storage system is written in go, and we're pushing terabit+ bandwidth around in it; I'd say we're in the running. :-)

    Gah, I really should hit myself over the head, I read about that and I totally forgot to take you into account. Storage systems obviously push a ton of bits. https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2014/07/open-sourcing-our-go-libraries/ https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2014/07/open-sourcing-our-go-...
