Discern Inc: Accelerating Development with Kibu

Abstract

Discern, Inc. presents Kibu: An open-source developer productivity toolkit developed in Go and powered by Temporal.

This presentation will focus on Kibu’s unique capabilities to simplify and expedite the development process by automating the generation of essential plumbing code. This automation allows developers to concentrate more on business logic rather than boilerplate, significantly reducing development time and effort.

A key feature of our session will be to demonstrate how quickly you can build service endpoints using plain old Go code (no proto files). We will showcase several examples, including starting workflows, performing queries, handling updates, and generating plumbing code that makes your endpoints durable by default.

Attendees will learn how Temporal can be the backbone of your entire system and how Kibu empowers developers to rapidly build and deploy robust applications.
