======= Talk 1 =======

Topic: Implementing Leader Election in Golang

As the demand for distributed systems continues to grow, Leader Election has become an essential mechanism for maintaining system stability and consistency.
By leveraging Golang’s goroutines and channels, we can design a system capable of automatically electing a leader, maintaining heartbeat signals, and performing graceful shutdowns safely.

This session will walk you through the design process and implementation techniques, helping developers effectively apply Leader Election in their projects to build more robust distributed services.

Speaker: Daniel Wu

Backend Engineer. After moving from C to Go, Daniel found a perfect balance between productivity and simplicity in Golang. He’s passionate about designing highly available backend systems and solving complex problems with clean, elegant approaches.

======= Talk 2 =======

Topic: Progressive Evolution of Go Project Architecture

Does your Go project start with a simple main.go that becomes increasingly difficult to maintain as it grows?

Or did you adopt a complex architecture too early, only to find it overkill for your needs?

This session takes a practical look at how Go project structures evolve over time —

• When simplicity is enough

• When layering becomes necessary

• How Clean Architecture supports long-term scalability and maintainability

A talk grounded in real-world development experience, not just theory.

Speaker: Rice

A backend engineer who dabbles in everything from front-end development to machine learning and creative coding — and still insists on strict code reviews in the age of AI.
