I wonder if it would make sense to front-end that with nginx. It has nice http2 and the latest SSL/TLS implementation. Just curious what other think about this approach.
That's currently what is done. However the idea that I could get my entire stack, from HTTP handler, to router, to logic, to database query, back to response into a single 10mb binary is pretty enticing.
If I could get there, I'd have full control over every aspect of an API request from packet to server query, back to payload, in a single programming language, in a single conceptual framework. There is a lot to like about that. I'm not sure it's needed - nginx works so well, and perfect settings are just a single config file away. But if I could get to a truly single-binary deployment, I'd be pretty happy too.
> Back when crypto/tls was slow and net/http young, the general wisdom was to always put Go servers behind a reverse proxy like NGINX. That’s not necessary anymore!
