  13. Perceivably slower

  14. The internals

  15. None

  16. Icon ID Icon version ID Raster size https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/298255/677266/128/raster https://cdn0.iconfinder.com/data/icons/seo-smart-pack/128/ grey_new_seo2-43-128.png

    returning the link,

  24. We’re okay with “right now” being an approximation

  25. Time limited token

  26. <token secret> = "<expiration timestamp>-<session ID>-<nonce>-<URL>"

  27. <token secret> = "<expiration timestamp>-<session ID>-<nonce>-<URL>" <signature> = hmac_sha1(<token secret>,

    <shared secret>)

  28. <token secret> = "<expiration timestamp>-<session ID>-<nonce>-<URL>" <signature> = hmac_sha1(<token secret>,

    <shared secret>) <token> = "<expiration timestamp>-<nonce>-base64(<signature>)"

  29. But, who checks the token?

  30. Enter Go The World’s least Google-able language… from Google

  36. Low CPU usage

  37. Static binary Cross-compilation = deployment heaven

  38. Less decisions to make

  39. Caveats

  40. Structured logging

  41. DIY

  42. Mature runtime != Mature language

  43. Conciseness 608 lines of code

  44. The end result

  45. 1.2 ms average response time at peak hours

  46. 0.1 % CPU usage at peak hours

  47. Go is awesome

  48. Go is awesome for simple services

  49. Go is a trade-off

  50. Go is a trade-off – choose wisely
