Handling TCP connections at scale - Ideas/Suggestions
1 project | /r/golang | 12 Jul 2023

Exciting question. Many goroutines consume resources accordingly and could also generate latency due to this. If you work under Linux: Have you looked at epoll? Since the system has to do basic connection handling anyway, you can shift or save at least part of the task. gnet is a very good library here to handle epoll & co. Maybe it makes sense to have a look at it or directly use epoll under go.

Since this heavily involves networking, take a look into using gnet [0]. You might find some interesting performance improvements by using that over just net.Conn.
