Go performance from version 1.2 to 1.18
The thing people don't seem to appreciate/understand with go is the effects of using it in serverless and cloud native environments.Every high throughput service I've had moved to GO has used a tiny amount of Memory and CPU compared to the implementation it replaced, typically nodejs, python, Scala and .net.In a cloud world where it's usually boiled down to pay-per MB of in-process memory and per cycle... That can be 4-5 figures a month in reduced cloud cost for the same traffic.Tiny output binaries are also very quick to transfer and spin up in serverless as well - often reducing costs further.The benefits over time of essentially knowing things will get faster with each new version is really encouraging as well. Imagine your cloud bill went down over time as a result of simply rebuilding your service on newer golang core and redeploying.
