Top 23 Go HTTP Projects

• Caddy

  62 33,642 9.1 Go

  Fast, multi-platform web server with automatic HTTPS

  

  Project mention: Supporting Let’s Encrypt, the nonprofit making HTTPS free for all | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-06-14

  first off, let me say, for me. I use Caddy (https://caddyserver.com/) and it just works. You start it, it gets a cert from letsencrypt and starts serving https. So it was (almost) zero work to serve with https.

  As for reasons to encrypt

  1. Prevents (I think) ISPs in the middle from injecting ads, spyware, phishing scams, etc on top of your site.

  2. Prevents 3rd parties from seeing what pages the user is accessing. Some people would prefer that other's can not read over their shoulder and see what they're reading.

  I know for me, I'm sensitive to that particular issue to the point that I don't really want to use Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, etc. I really don't like the idea that they're building a profile of me based on what I watch and thinking they know who I am based on that.

  It could be as simple as I don't want it known if I'm reading liberal or conservative blogs.

  I'm sure others might have other reasons they don't want a 3rd party to know what specific pages they're reading.

  ---

  ps: I get there are other ways to track me but I'm fairly confident that I'm avoiding most of them via HTTPS, VPNs, Private browser windows, multiple profiles, 3rd party cookies off, ad blockers, etc....

  Project mention: What's your favourite (go) web framework? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-06-13

  Favourite's hard to define, standard library can be a bit bare bones (you need to reinvent the wheel a few times for common tasks) and gorilla/mux can be a bit bloated (it's as close as "batteries included" as you're going to get)

  A high performance HTTP request router that scales well

  Project mention: What's your favourite (go) web framework? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-06-13

  For me, the middle ground is best, chi, gin, httprouter are the sweetspot. But that's based on skills, style, and requirements (and experience - I've used all the ones I have mentioned in anger)

  Deploy infinitely scalable serverless apps, apis, and sites in seconds to AWS.

  

  Project mention: Ask HN: Does anyone else find the AWS Lambda developer experience poor? | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-04-18

  I can also recommend serverless.com framework for local development and running lambdas offline.

  AWS provides a docker image for emulating DynamoDB which works great for local dev and will commonly be paired with lambdas.

  Another option I have used recently for implementing node web services is https://github.com/apex/up which also has a nice local dev experience.

  Project mention: Exotic/unknown frameworks? | reddit.com/r/PHP | 2021-05-28

  Edit: It can't do hot reload, especially not in docker containers. So unfortunately another one that I can't use. I'd love some genuinely good option beyond php-fpm.

  If you're wanting to keep your infrastructure lean, you can use OpenFaaS on a single VM with "faasd" instead of K3s/K8s.

  Project mention: A very simple uptime monitor written with go | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-04-21

  Future plans I have is for these workers to actually run chromedp (https://github.com/chromedp/chromedp) or something similar to generate a har file. Currently the har file can't be generated with chromedp but you could use a proxy like martian (https://github.com/google/martian) maybe to generate this. Then you could results like https://tools.pingdom.com/ (the tool seems not to show each file request for me anymore) for every uptime check and keep stats for this. You are not only testing the uptime then but also the full load time of the page along with checking for other potential problems.

• gock
