Massive practice in Go at ByteDance
Go was introduced to ByteDance in 2014, and since then engineering teams across ByteDance have adopted Go to build products and services on a massive scale. As we went deeper, relatively mature microservice best practices under Go were developed and summarized, which then were open-sourced and named CloudWeGo since 2021. Now 70% of microservices within ByteDance are written by Go.

At the time, no single team member knew Go, but within a month, everyone was writing in Go and we were building out the endpoints. It was the flexibility, how easy it was to use, and the really cool concept behind Go (how Go handles native concurrency, garbage collection, and of course safety+speed.) that helped engage us during the build. Also, who can beat that cute mascot!

Find out more about Golang at SIXT
“We have been doing Golang at SIXT since 2015. Back then there was not that many people here in our area which were doing Golang in production mode, mostly side projects. So it was really a bold move from our side but it proved to be quite successful. Fast forward to 2019 we have over 15 teams doing Golang. Many of the applications they have built are basically foundation for most of our mobility product offer including Rent, Ride and Share.”
