In reply to Chris Habgood. Chris! Both IronWorker and IronMQ do have HTTP API's. Are you curious as to what libraries we use internally?

Is your API similar to https://www.codementor.io/codehakase/building-a-restful-api-with-golang-a6yivzqdo? Or can you provide some code samples?

I’d love to see a competition where a server providing a restful JSON API must be built by the best practitioners for each platform. See who finishes first and see which solution can handle the most traffic with equivalent hardware.

In reply to Кошелев Иван. I have to say I agree with almost all the points in this reply. :)

Hi -- nowhere in the article do you say what the concurrency model was in your before or your after system.

If you moved from a process-based single-threaded concurrency model in ruby (which is the most common deployment) to a threaded or evented/reactor concurrency model in go, then that is probably the main source of the dramatic decrease in needed resources.

I am also very interested in knowing what the reasons were for discarding Python, just out of curiosity... I am currently looking into building an API-centric webservice and am considering Python, but your article would almost make me want to try Go. So, if you can spare a few minutes, it will really help me.

Just for information, I am considering Python with use of greenlets for high concurrency support..

Also after brief look on Go I noticed dereference operator (‘*’)… How heavy is Go related to C?

Hi! Thanks for article – it’s very inspiring to learn something new! Right now I’m lookign to add something to my Rails/JS knowledge and scales fluctuate between Erlang and Go.
Can you give some more light on key points about choosing between two of those?
