Articles on the ownCloud Infinite Scale rewrite in Go

PHP and the LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) stack have formed the core of ownCloud for years. For good reasons this stack is still running large parts of the internet. On the other hand, the Go programming language developed by pundits like Ken Thompson at Google has a lot to offer in terms of speed, scalability, security and usability without limitations. A secure, scalable, flexible and efficient architecture with Microservices, easy to deploy on every platform meets exactly the vision of the cloud-native approach of Infinite Scale, sparking the rewrite of the ownCloud platform in 2020.

Several of the articles below focus on the crucial role that Go plays in Infinite Scale, the reasons why we choose Go and the many advantages it has to offer. Recently, the German Linux Magazine had a multi-article series on Go and ownCloud:
