This looks very useful, I'd definitely buy a book on the subject. Does anyone know about more Go-specific performance book/articles out there? Please share!

Right, because we write against DynamoDB/Etcd transactions were a non-option anyways, and we only have CompareAndSwap as a locking primitive https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/blob/master/lib&

That's helpful, thanks, clarifies key differences in design of Cassandra vs FoundationDB. Are you using a lot of FDB in prod? What are your impressions so far? What are your next steps with this project?
