## How do you reach Go developers?

Developers are the audience that taught the industry to block ads. The way in is not a louder interruption; it is the reading they chose, in the place they open every day. That is why daily.dev Ads exists: to help brands earn a place in that reading, week after week.

1. **Lead with the measurement, not the adjective.** Go developers chose the language for performance and simplicity, and they read benchmarks. Publish throughput, memory and binary size in the post, with the method linked.
2. **Speak Kubernetes. It is their context.** Much cloud-native tooling is written in Go. Posts that show the manifest, the single binary or the operator earn more trust than a tour of your marketing site.
3. **Boring is a compliment. Publish stability.** Backwards compatibility, few dependencies and a small surface are what this audience forwards. Write release notes and upgrade guides that prove it, every release.
4. **Write for the engineers who own production.** Go services usually have an owner who answers for them at 3 a.m. Give them the operational cost and the upgrade path, and engineering stories that show your own team runs it the same way.

> "We kept extending the relationship, asked to keep spend running monthly, and continued planning future placements. That’s a good signal that it delivered enough value to earn a place in the mix." Trevor Rawls, Senior Marketing Manager, Postmark, a daily.dev Ads customer ([case study](https://business.daily.dev/customers/postmark.md))

What that means for your message (takeaways):

- **Concurrency and performance:** Publish throughput and memory, measured, with the benchmark code beside them
- **Cloud-native by default:** Show the single binary and the Kubernetes manifest in your posts
- **Boring is good:** Make stability and backwards compatibility the story you tell, release after release
