DevOpsDays Charlotte 2018 Ignite Talk on Go

 Posted on 2018-02-28  |  2 minutes  |  214 words  |  Chris Short

It’ll be insanely hard to beat the great folks who spoke in Charlotte this year. Almost every talk was a home run. The Red Ventures facility was also jaw dropping.

I spoke at the first Orchestructure Meetup of 2018. I have to admit, this is probably the smoothest run Meetup I’ve been a part of for quite some time.
