Received a Go binary with no source?
Learn to audit Go binaries without source via eBPF tracing and static analysis. We will cover a practical workflow to spot unexpected HTTP, filesystem, or network activity and explain how Go's binary structure aids analysis. We will briefly use Ghidra to visualize internal structures without deep reverse engineering skills.

Performance optimization is a skill that everyone wants on their resume today. It's an essential arrow in your quiver if you want to stand out from the average developer.
The goal is to make your software faster or use fewer resources.
Even if you don't care about it now, there may come a time when your software starts running slow, consuming too many resources, or getting killed by the dreaded OOM issue. Not knowing where to begin investigating, how to read the metrics, or how to fix the code could keep you awake at night. And usually, when performance optimization is needed, the situation is far from ideal. At that point, we either save the boat or sink it.
