An interesting practical example of using ELK stack. For future talks, if a demo doesn't work, I'd just skip instead of trying to fix it, as you lose the audience a little then.

This talked seemed to have all the bases covered. It was evident though that the speaker didn't have a lot of experience with Golang yet. Speaking style seemed a little rough.

Although I already use generators for a while I heard some new things and use-cases. Great talk, excellent speaker!

Good talk! It was interesting to learn about Vault and Consul, and you provided a nice overview.

Interesting subject and the talk was well prepared and presented. For me the most attractive part of the subject of the talk was "Websocket". That part was not deeply covered because you use a SAAS service (Pusher) for that, although it's also possible with PHP. That was a mismatch with my expectations and a little bit disappointing.

A good talk to give more insight into microservice architecture, and some pointers to have it not fail. It was quite opinionated though. With the points mentioned that are "required" (though for sure microservice arch enables and promotes these things!), like message bus queue and CD, I disagree they would be required, though certainly useful.
I also think you should maybe change the title for the talk; I was expecting something more in-depth regarding deployment of microservice architecture. And so for me as someone who already knows quite a lot about the points you mentioned, the talk didn't really deliver what I imagined.

I was hoping for an edutaining story and you delivered.

Just a great talk. It really felt like you knew what you wanted to deliver on. I was afraid it might be a talk about opinions or emotions but it wasn't that at all. It was facts all the way down. As some other people also mentioned, the slides could have used less words but in this case it didn't personally bother me.

The live code refactoring was a good idea. I feel like I understand the concepts behind a 'Maybe' and a 'Many' and I now understand why I dislike jQuery so much.

What an awful closing note. It was supposed to be funny but I could not laugh for a single second. The topics which were presented in the talk were quite interesting and very deep technical stuff, but it was such a mess and without a red line in my opinion - or I completely missed it. Anyway, I did see a worse presentation and certainly not my highlight of the day. I better read a book about the topic I think.
