Benchmarking Nginx with Go

There are a lot of ways to serve a Go HTTP application. The best choices depend on each use case. Currently nginx looks to be the standard web server for every new project even though there are other great web servers as well. However, how much is the overhead of serving a Go application behind an nginx server? Do we need some nginx features (vhosts, load balancing, cache, etc) or can you serve directly from Go? If you need nginx, what is the fastest connection mechanism? This are the kind of questions I'm intended to answer here. The purpose of this benchmark is not to tell that Go is faster or slower than nginx. That would be stupid.

So, these are the different settings we are going to compare:

• Go HTTP standalone (as the control group)
• Nginx proxy to Go HTTP
• Nginx fastcgi to Go TCP FastCGI
• Nginx fastcgi to Go Unix Socket FastCGI

何故Dockerを使うべきか

Why Should I Care (For Developers)

"Dockerが面白いのはシンプルな環境に隔離性と再現性をもたらしてくれることだ．ランタイムの環境を一度作れば、パッケージにして別のマシンでも再利用することできる．さらに，すべてはホスト内の隔離された環境で行われる（VMのように）．最も素晴らしい点は，シンプルかつ高速であることだ．"
