Go 1.24 unlocks the power of WebAssembly (Wasm) with new tooling for building high-performance edge applications. In this session, we’ll show you how to leverage the speed, security, and portability of Go to create low-latency Wasm modules that run on Google Cloud’s Service Extensions. We’ll also show you how Shopify uses Go and Service Extensions to move more application logic to the edge to reliably serve millions of customers.

Join this session where Shopify engineers will discuss how they leverage the latest Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) innovations to build robust, scalable platforms that not only handle everyday traffic with ease but also gracefully absorb unpredictable spikes during peak events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Learn key architectural patterns, smart infrastructure choices, and proven best practices. Discover how to optimize resource utilization, control costs, and deliver cost-effective performance every time.
