Kraken Wrangling for Dummies - Go Module Dependency Management at Scale

Explore the challenges of Go module dependency management at scale in this GopherCon 2022 talk by Dylan Bourque. Dive into the complexities introduced by Go modules and the relaxation of GOPATH-based constraints, which have made traditional code spelunking tools less effective. Learn about Perseus, a tool developed by CrowdStrike to tackle the expanding dependency graphs of Go services. Discover how Perseus utilizes a graph database to store versioned links between modules and provides an API for populating the database and executing queries. Gain insights into the project's structure, database design, and service architecture. Understand how CrowdStrike incrementally populates Perseus' graph to distribute processing load. Witness a demonstration of Perseus in action and explore its potential for managing complex Go module dependencies in large-scale projects.
