This past week I attended Gophercon 2015, in Denver, CO. It was also a chance to get together with the rest of the InfluxDB team. And because the Go community is still relatively young and small, it was a great chance to meet, in person, some of the best people working with Go today.

What I wish I’d been told about the JVM
Java is the predominant language of Big Data technologies. HBase, Lucene, elasticsearch, Cassandra – all are written in Java and, of course, run inside a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). There are some other important Big Data technologies, while not written in Java, also run inside a JVM.
Examples include Apache Storm, which is written in Clojure, and Apache Kafka, which is written in Scala. This makes basic knowledge of the JVM quite important when it comes to deploying and operating Big Data technologies.
