What Hacker News says?
One to read, and a single reader thread. That's no contention. One to write, that's used for writing only, not both read/write as in the published design. Edit: it's a variation on the following, but for ReverseProxies, not worker goroutines http://marcio.io/2015/07/handling-1-million-requests-per-min...

HN discussion> I just don't think Go has a place in new code. This is a completely blanket statement. Not only are there very large open source projects written in go which your company more than likely already uses (kubernetes, docker, prometheus, influxdb to name a few) there are also case studies of very respectable performance in go: 1 million requests/min http://marcio.io/2015/07/handling-1-million-requests-per-min... 1 mil…

HN discussionRe 3. Funny you should mention net http's goroutine per request model. Fasthttp massively out performs stdlib on every techemporer benchmark using a goroutine/worker pool model. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41627931/in-golang-packa... https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ http://marcio.io/2015/07/handling-1-million-requests-per-min...

HN discussionThe way these guys did it is quite interesting: http://marcio.io/2015/07/handling-1-million-requests-per-min... I have experimented with something similar, ie a pool of goroutines to which work is dispatched (in my case, invoking anonymous functions passed via the input channels)

HN discussionSorry, it's not public, but it was based on this: http://marcio.io/2015/07/handling-1-million-requests-per-min... but made more generic. The 'task' passed to each worker was a closure that was executed by the worker.

HN discussion> what is it with sysadmins maintaining large scripts while at the same time quipping that they are not programmers? We've met some programmers, and don't want to be compared to that [1]. Seriously. Programmers will embark on some massive mission that Apache and dumb CGIs can do[2] Programmers will justify their slow software by saying it's readable, or by saying that the JIRA ticket didn't specify how fast the solu…

HN discussionI truly feel sorry for those who started learning web development somewhere between 2009 and 2014. During that time, it seems like what would be accepted as the new standard for creating web applications was completely up for grabs. You had Angular, Backbone, Ember, and probably many others that just didn't get noticed. Can you imagine being a new developer during this time, trying to learn how to create a web appli…

HN discussionIndeed. I like the push approach outlined here: http://marcio.io/2015/07/handling-1-million-requests-per-min... I have done a more generic version of this with success. You have N workers, each reading from a separate input channel for work to do. Then you have an outer "channel of channels", holding those worker channels. When you want to submit work, select a worker channel from the outer channel, submit, and push…
