Testing WebSocket in Go It’s been a while since my last post in this blog. I also posted some posts in my Medium while I was in the Gojek Bootcamp. Feel free to check it out here. A few weeks ago, I got this idea for making real-time chat server with WebSocket. I was curious because I had never been playing with WebSocket in Go previously.

It’s my first week in Gojek’s office. I’m joining the engineering department as product engineer and here’s my experience of the first week.

Especially when there’s an abundance of available tools.
