Right now I'm using prometheus and grafana to monitor around 8k database servers (sql server too BTW). We have pricing applications using influxdb. Docker. Openstack. Minio. We also have mattermost. All of this in a conservative big bank. My friends in the banking sector tell the same story. True there are lots of c# enterprisey web apps. However given the amount of boilerplate you describe, I cannot understand how such useful and reliable tools can be delivered in Go. A hint:just because a language is not to your liking, it does not mean that it is not useful, performant and reliable.

One anecdote doesn't make the IT industry.

  I'm talking about the whole banking sector in France.

    And yet I haven't seen any of that on our Fortune 500 French clients, which naturally includes banks, go figure.

      Are you working in operations and infrastructure? My take is that writing enterprisey applications you are not exposed to those tools. I'm in ops.

        Not personally, but we do have mixed teams. AWS, Azure, actual hardware racks, plain old VMs, JEE containers, .NET packages, Ansible, Puppet, Chef, whatever scripting stack, but surely not one line of Go related code.

"However given the amount of boilerplate you describe, I cannot understand how such useful and reliable tools can be delivered in Go." I don't follow your logic. Multitudes of useful and reliable tools were built with assembly languages - is that evidence that assembly code doesn't have a lot of boilerplate (relative to modern languages)?
