New #Golang development tool: https://github.com/networkteam/devlog

Easily inspect HTTP requests (incoming and outgoing), database queries and logs.

Still work in progress, but already immensely useful!

Wir brauchen doch ganz konkret praktische Alternativen zu Google Cloud, AWS, Cloudflare und so ziemlich allen US SaaS Monopolisten (von Office 365 bis GitHub und Stripe).

@masek Wenn wir uns auf ein konstruktives Niveau begeben, dann können wir das bestimmt verbessern. Das ist nicht aus Hass geschehen 😉

Leider hängt die genaue Reihenfolge mitunter von Uhrzeit und Wochentag ab. Der Fahrplan ist in dieser Detailtiefe nicht in der Website selbst integriert - selbst wenn müsste man ein konkretes Datum/Uhrzeit eingeben um die korrekte Reihenfolge zu sehen.

Was wäre Dein Vorschlag?

@pwaring UUIDs of many packages are simply a custom byte array type of size 16. They are comparable (==, map key, etc.) which is very helpful.

@dmathieu Thanks for the hint! This is only for traces though and doesn't include any test helpers as far as I can see. For metrics there is only the ManualReader that we use to capture emitted metrics during tests.

I'm also pretty happy about the latest refactoring of our authorization package to use more modular check functions:

```
func (a *Authorizer) AllowsAndFilterAllAccountsQuery(query *domain.AccountsQuery) error {
return a.check(
satisfyAny(
requireRole(domain.RoleSystemAdministrator),
requireAll(
requireRole(domain.RoleOrganisationAdministrator),
setOrganisationID(query),
),
),
)
}
```

Here's the telemetry test helpers in context in the full boilerplate: https://github.com/networkteam/go-apibackend-boilerplate/blob/main/backend/test/telemetry/assert.go

We integrated #OpenTelemetry into our #Go API backend boilerplate.

The SDK is pretty Java-esque for Go for my taste, but if you don't lose scope with all the different packages it's quite modular.

Since I couldn't find any good example of making this testable, I figured out a way that I wanted to share: https://gist.github.com/hlubek/76db48a94a49a8b196ba556e0690f955

As always: global variables are bad, so the Otel examples like are not best practice for having testable instrumentation.

Heres our next meetup event, there are a few seats left: https://www.meetup.com/golang-kiel/events/301574527/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events

Doing more research for #WASM and #WASI in #Golang for our next Meetup tomorrow. While the toolchain has some way to go yet, there are already many practical use-cases and platforms evolving.

The component model seems to be a real game changer here - I need to learn more about it - but things like #WasmCloud (https://wasmcloud.com/docs/tour/adding-capabilities?lang=tinygo) look really interesting.

Also Fastly Compute, Azure WASM/WASI Nodepools, …

My bet is, that this will eventually be the universal computing model of the future.

Yesterday I had a longer look at the clear night sky after the sun was setting.

Did you notice a change?

It‘s full of small moving lights at any given moment! I guess we can call it the #enshittification of the night sky due to massive satellite constellations like Starlink.

Made me thinking… How much of our world and life are we willing to give away to these people? Not even the night sky is peaceful anymore and a place for our imagination…

Good podcast from Mark Richards and Neal Ford on the difference between modularity and granularity - together with the forces make you separate or integrate services.

thanks, @b0rk - I've been writing shell for 25+ years and wish I'd been doing this 25+ years ago.

An article I've been meaning to write for a _long_ time, because I bandy this term about a lot ("Walking Skeleton"), and I'm not always sure if people understand exactly what I mean by it.

It has become one of the most central ideas to how my team and I deliver software.
