Websocket memory usage
Then take a look at this article - https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/million-websockets-and-go-cc58418460bb/ - using external from Go std lib epoll implementation and https://github.com/gobwas/ws lib it's possible to reduce memory usage per connection drastically. Though keep in mind that this approach is not obvious to implement right and you better to go with STD lib.

Elixir or golang which wiil be good for large websocket connections.
Yes, but there are two excelent libs for golang websockets - https://github.com/gobwas/ws - https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge

Is there an alternative to gorilla websocket?
Yes, I find https://github.com/gobwas/ws to be far superior. It has a lot more ability to customize and get high performance as well as a utility package that is much higher level and makes it easy to use. It doesn't have some of the problems of gorilla because they didn't have to support people already depending on it
- Gorilla Web Toolkit is now in archive only mode
-
Gorilla toolkit maintainers are stepping down and have been looking for new maintainers. The project could otherwise be archived.
There's https://github.com/gobwas/ws and https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket but neither have seen a commit in over a year

TCP or websockets for chat server
Hello, +1 to WebSockets. If you need to choose WS library – go with https://github.com/gorilla/websocket or https://github.com/gobwas/ws. You can also look at Centrifugo server (https://centrifugal.dev/, supports WebSocket, SockJS bidi transports, also EventSource, HTTP-streaming, GRPC unidirectional transports and many builtin features) or https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge Go library.

How does TCP connection in net package handle disconnects?
I prefer gobwas/ws because it has the high level "easy mode" (though some things will still be a small learning curve if you are used to REST mostly) and a low level API that you can dive into if you need very high performance and don't mind getting deeply into the details. It has the advantage of being written much after the most popular Gorilla websocket implementation which has some complexity and other issues that it can't totally remove in order to keep compatibility for all of its many users. It's also battle-tested via mail.ru. See A Million Websocket and Go for more details on its inception.
