For us it started with me rewriting a small service. It was done quickly and with great performance which led to curiosity from other developers which in turn led to a larger system of services being built in Go with great results. The initial usual fears about knowledge and "risks" was quickly alleviated since the team picked it up (for me quite predictably) fast and got things done very soon.
