New case studies about Google’s use of Go

Important point: this is Google's use of Go, not your use of Go. Take note to check whether their results are applicable to you before adding it to your repertoire of "reasons we should use Go at our company".

What are you trying to say?

Go is at my employer's (one of the top 3 car companies world wide) techradar the number one to adopt. New stuff of all kind is done in Go.

So, Go is a huge success outside of Google as well.

Not saying that I'm of any importance for Go, but I'm using Go for personal projects, at work for CLIs and standard backend stuff (APIs + DB, Redis, etc.) with great success.

I love reading about how companies use various technologies and how it works for them but I am personally weary of dealing with people who bring up these writeups in language wars without qualification–I'm sure you know the usual "Google uses it, so it must be good" or "Facebook stopped using it, so it must be bad" kind of proposition. Actually, I've written many words on the topic, many more than I have put there; perhaps you've seen it already ;)

But to be clear: I'm saying that reading about other people's experiences with a language (including yours here) is useful in making your own decisions, but you must also account for how you and your usecase are different than the one that was presented.

Honestly, it's not breaking news that Go is used heavily outside Google.

No, it's not, I was just talking about the article itself rather than the case studies from the past.

These are case studies from companies that aren't google.

Are they? I see links to case studies about Firebase and Google Cloud.

Are you looking at the right page? The first three companies I see there are American Express, Capital One and Cloudflare on the list they link to:

I’m looking at the pages linked from https://opensource.googleblog.com/2020/08/new-case-studies-a..., which seems to be about Google’s use of Go.

> In the past year, we’ve posted sixteen case studies from end users around the world talking about how they use Go to build fast, reliable, and efficient software at scale.

Click on the link about the "sixteen case studies" and you'll see the rest.

Ah, sure. I didn't bring those up because they were older and not really directly part of this submission.
