Scaling FastAGI Applications with Go - AstriCon 2014
A presentation about combining the powers of the Go language and Asterisk in order to provide fast, reliable and hugely scalable voice applications. A brief introduction about why Go presents a big opportunity for the asterisk community, a primer into developing FastAGI applications, demonstration of the AGI package [1] and a walk through the idioms and challenges of developing in Go. The talk is focused mainly on our experience of porting existing code into Go with the aim to scale our services to larger numbers accompanied with benchmarks and an introduction to some tools [2] we developed to help us test, debug and benchmark AGI applications.
