Shameless promotion in case you don't read OP. We're posting an article every day on blog.gopheracademy.com celebrating the use of Go around the world. http://blog.gopheracademy.com/birthday-bash-2014/go-turns-5/

dammit.

My bad - fixed.

Hi Brandon! - secretbox is another great way to encrypt data, and would have worked for this project too. Ultimately we chose openpgp because it allows us to encrypt the same data with multiple public keys all at once, for multiple consumers.

or, perhaps they weren't encrypting.

It's particularly useful in clustering environments like CoreOS and Kubernetes where it's a little harder to pass configs securely. Instead, just bind a local volume to your docker container with your private keys, and load your configs securely from etcd/consul.

The thing that's nice about Deis is that they seem to be using lots of best-in-breed solutions to build their platform rather than falling into NIH hell. Nice.

it doesn't look like vulcan supports HTTPS, so it's a no-go for anything serious. Here's a post on my confd/nginx/docker setup for zero-downtime using etcd. http://brianketelsen.com/2014/02/25/using-nginx-confd-and-do...

The gophers are being removed by popular demand.

nice detective work. LinkedIn probably covers most of what you need to know. We're also behind projects like Skynet and SkyDNS. I've been using Go in high volume production applications since 2010.

agreed - we've been using Go in production since before 1.0 and I know of many other high profile companies using it that aren't publicizing their usage for whatever reason. There is no question of whether Go works in production under loads. That has been asked and answered, your honor.
