2021-11-02 Thread Leam Hall
I know Go can go on AWS Lambda, but I'm noob enough not to see how the memory performance value of Go translates to serverless. What are the benefits to using Go on AWS serverless? Thanks! Leam -- Systems Programmer (reuel.net/resume) Scribe: The Domici War (domiciwar.net)

[go-nuts] Is there a way to specify or use the tmp directory used in testing?

2022-02-23 Thread Leam Hall
My program uses data and template files located relative to the binary. Since go test creates the binary under test in /tmp/go-build., there are no data or template files. How do I either specify what directory to build in so I can create the files, or get the tmp directory name before the
