Top 23 Go HacktoberFest Projects
-
I like them when I am new to a technology or programming language. For example last year I spent a significant amount of time writing Go code and doing Solidity/blockchain development.
Being able to scan [awesome-go](https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go), [awesome-solidity](https://github.com/bkrem/awesome-solidity), and [awesome-nft](https://github.com/gianni-dalerta/awesome-nft) for general resources, projects, guides, or just general information was a nice resource to have in my back pocket.
I think your point is valid, but it's also a personal expectation of what you get out of the resource. I think the fact that they are open ended helps both developers who are trying to reach an audience and people who are browsing for new tools, ideas, etc.

Project mention: How To Event Stream Data From Your Hugo Site To Google Analytics Using RudderStack | dev.to | 2022-01-19
RudderStack is an open-source customer data platform that empowers you to track your customer events from your web, mobile, and server-side sources in real-time. We have also open-sourced our primary repository - rudder-server - on GitHub. This article will walk you through the process of integrating your Hugo site with RudderStack using our JavaScript SDK. It will also help you track the real-time user events and send them to the destinations of your choice.

Project mention: Comparing Nginx Performance in Bare Metal and Virtual Environments | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-10-29
I do agree with you in that regard, however, that's also a dangerous line of thinking.
There are attempts to provide horizontal scalability for RDBMSes in a transparent way, like TiDB https://pingcap.com/ (which is compatible with the MySQL 5.7 drivers), however, the list of functionality that's sacrificed to achieve easily extensible clusters is a long one: https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/mysql-compatibility
There are other technologies, like MongoDB, which sometimes are more successful at a clustered configuration, however most of the traditional RDBMSes work best in a leader-follower type of replication scenario, because even those aforementioned systems oftentimes have data consistency issues that may eventually pop up.
Essentially, my argument is that the lack of good horizontally scalable databases or other data storage solutions is easily explainable by the fact that the problem itself isn't solvable in any easy way, apart from adopting eventual consistency, which is probably going to create more problems than it will solve in case of any pre-existing code that makes assumptions about what ways it'll be able to access data and operate on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacies_of_distributed_compu...
To that end, i'd perhaps like to suggest an alternative: use a single vertically scalable RDBMS instance when possible, with a hot standby if you have the resources for that. Let the architecture around it be horizontally scalable instead, and let it deal with the complexities of balancing the load and dealing with backpressure - introduce a message queue if you must, maybe even an in-memory one for simplicity's sake, or consider an event based architecture where "what needs to be done" is encapsulated within a data structure that can be passed around and applied whenever possible. In my eyes, such solutions can in many cases be better than losing the many benefits of having a single source of truth.
Alternatively, consider sharding as a possibility, or, alternatively, do some domain driven design, figure out where to draw some boundaries and split your service into multiple ones that cover the domain with which you need to work with. Then you have one DB for sales, one for account management, one for reports and so on, all separated by something as simple as REST interfaces and with rate limits or any of the other mechanisms.
If, however, neither of those two groups of approaches don't seem to be suitable for the loads that you're dealing with, then you probably have a team of very smart people and a large amount of resources to figure out what will work best.
To sum up, if there are no good solutions in the space, perhaps that's because the problems themselves haven't been solved yet. Thus, sooner or later, they'll need to be sidestepped and their impact mitigated in whatever capacity is possible.

We're already using Drone CI for a bunch of things like building, testing, linting and releasing. For each PR Drone runs a few pipelines to give us quick feedback about the impact of the changes. In that pipeline, a pipeline builds the frontend. Since the frontend is just a classic SPA, we get a bundle of css, js, images and so forth at the end of that build.

Ory Hydra
OpenID Certified™ OpenID Connect and OAuth Provider written in Go - cloud native, security-first, open source API security for your infrastructure. SDKs for any language. Works with Hardware Security Modules. Compatible with MITREid.
Project mention: What type of software do you write at your workplace? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2022-01-17For hobby work I've used Gorilla Mux for web APIs and written a UI in Angular and I depended upon Badgerdb for data storage since it's a fantastic in-process datastore and well supported since it's the backend for Dgraph. I'm quite happy with those choices, but I'm going to be rewriting my hobby work and using Postgres by way of Ent, playing with Go HTML templating, and using just the standard library for routing (probably... might go back to Gorilla). I might use ORY Hydra for all my auth needs this time around, but of course, hobby work moves far slower than professional work, so it's hard to say what all I will get around to doing.
