Most applications today require a persistent datastore, and most often it is a database. Even if your Go application is able to able handle an increasing amount of transactions, are you confident your database will be able to perform, scale out as needed and be reliable? I am going to present how to develop high performance applications using Go and Aerospike, an open-source high-performance database that can handle millions of transactions per second while scaling with your increased workloads – without having to rewrite your application, to compensate for your database.

Chris Stivers is a principal engineer at Aerospike, developing core features of the database, client libraries and tools. With Aerospike going open-sourced this past summer, Chris is passionately spreading the word about Aerospike, and helping to break barriers in adoption. Chris was previously an engineer at Earthlink and an architect at Yahoo!, developing systems and infrastructure to support millions of users. He enjoys learning and employing new programming languages and technology.
