GoGraz Go User Group Graz

Welcome to the February edition of GoGraz! This month Sameer Oak is going to give a talk about a data caching framework he’s been working on!

Afterwards we’ll have the usual discussion round and a quick review of what happened since the last meetup.

Talk: Data cache library (Sameer)

• The code is available on https://github.com/sameeroak1110/datacache.
• Originally developed for C/C++ but then ported to Go many years ago.
• Things like persistance loading/storing operations are pluggable using function types.
• 2 locks: One for the whole store and one for a single record.
• There can be multiple cache-keys be pointing at the same record in the cache. Each record also references those keys.
• Objects returned from the cache with the same key are the same object which allows for direct locking of such shared state.

Misc.

• The Go Developers Network has also lots of other meetups happening within the next couple of days! Make sure to take a look at them at https://www.meetup.com/pro/go!
• Go 1.18 has a new debug/buildinfo functionality which can be accessed also using go version -m!
• Linuxtage Graz is still looking for talks! Submit yours!
• GopherCon India might happen around December somehow! Let’s see!
• Wails is a frontend toolbox for Go.
