The Raygun service is made up of many moving parts, each specialized for a particular task. One of these processes is written in Golang and is responsible for desymbolicating iOS crash reports. You don’t need to know what that means, but in short, it takes native iOS crash reports, looks up the relevant dSYM files, and processes them together to produce human readable stack traces.

The operation of the dsym-worker is simple. It receives jobs via a single consumer attached to a Redis queue. It grabs a job from the queue, performs the job, acknowledges the queue and repeats.
