  • afero

    A FileSystem Abstraction System for Go

  • At my last job we deprecated ioutil in favor of afero, mainly because we found it impossible to mock ioutil operations without using a OS-provided filesystem; afero has a simple mechanism to switch filesystems types, so unit tests can use newMemMapFS() while real code uses newOsFs().

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
