Open Table Formats Such as Apache Iceberg Are Inevitable for Analytical Data
Apache AVRO [1] is one but it has been largely replaced by Parquet [2] which is a hybrid row/columnar format

Generating Avro Schemas from Go types
The most common format for describing schema in this scenario is Apache Avro.

How do you update an existing avro schema using apache avro SchemaBuilder?
I am testing a new schema registry which loads and retrieves different kinds of avro schemas. In the process of testing, I need to create a bunch of different types of avro schemas. As it involves a lot of permutations, I decided to create the schema programmatically.I am using the apache avro SchemaBuilder to do so.

gRPC on the client side
Other serialization alternatives have a schema validation option: e.g., Avro, Kryo and Protocol Buffers. Interestingly enough, gRPC uses Protobuf to offer RPC across distributed components:

tl;dr of Data Contracts
Once things like JSON became more popular Apache Avro appeared. You can define Avro files which can then be generated into Python, Java C, Ruby, etc.. classes.

Events: Fat or Thin?
Supporting multiple versions of an event schema is a solved problem. Apache Avro with a published schema hash in a message header is one solution.

Possibly stupid question, is java the right language for low latency and high throughput web servers?
I was about to suggest Chronicle, but it looks like they have gone closed-source. The older version is still interesting to look through though. Aeron / Disruptor / SBE are good projects for inspiration as well.

Parsing Protobuf at 2+GB/S: How I Learned to Love Tail Calls in C
Consider a valid protobuf message with such a field. If you can locate the field value bytes, you can write a new value to the same location without breaking the message. It's obviously possible to the same with the varint type too, as long as you don't change the number of bytes - not so practical, but useful for enum field which has a limited set of useful values (usually less than 128).
Pregenerating protobuf messages you want to send and then modifying the bytes in-place before sending is going to give you a nice performance boost over "normal" protobuf serialization. It can be useful if you need to be protobuf compatible, but it's obviously better to use something like SBE - https://github.com/real-logic/simple-binary-encoding
