Top 23 Go Performance Projects

• Gin

  152 75,469 8.5 Go

  Gin is a HTTP web framework written in Go (Golang). It features a Martini-like API with much better performance -- up to 40 times faster. If you need smashing performance, get yourself some Gin.

Now let’s define the functions that will be called whenever a request hits our API. All the functions will be referencing the context provided by the Gin web framework. Paste the following code below the sample slice we just added to api.go:

• pprof

  12 7,450 7.6 Go

  pprof is a tool for visualization and analysis of profiling data

  

Project mention: Profiling Caddy | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-15

The pprof format is not tied to Go. From my understanding, it's used within Google across multiple languages. The format is defined in the pprof repository[0], and the visualization tool is source-language agnostic. I've seen libraries in numerous languages (e.g. Python, Java) to publish profiles in pprof format. This is an indicator the pprof format has become de-facto. Grafana Pyroscope[1] is a tool that's capable of parsing the pprof format, agnostic to the source programming language, and has instructions for Go, Java, Python, Ruby, node.js, Rust, and .NET.

My understanding is that you're searching for a combination of the profiles, metrics, and tracing. Caddy supports all 3.

metrics and tracing need to be manually enabled (for now, perhaps)

• BigCache

  1 7,192 6.3 Go

  Efficient cache for gigabytes of data written in Go.

  

• ristretto

  19 5,306 6.1 Go

  A high performance memory-bound Go cache

  

Project mention: Otter, Fastest Go in-memory cache based on S3-FIFO algorithm | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-23

1. Unfortunately, ristretto has been showing hit ratio around 0 on almost all traces for a very long time now and the authors don't respond to this in any way. Vitess for example has already changed it to another cache. Here are two issues about it: https://github.com/dgraph-io/ristretto/issues/346 and https://github.com/dgraph-io/ristretto/issues/336. That is, ristretto shows such results even on its own benchmarks. You can see it just by running hit ratio benchmarks on a very simple zipf distribution from the ristretto repository: https://github.com/dgraph-io/ristretto/blob/main/stress_test.... On this test I got the following:

If that's true, you should probably update the docs. Everything I could find implied dotnet, jvm, python were still unsupported. For example, the roadmap section of the readme mentions most of these but nothing mentions dotnet. However I did find your tickets and a demo being merged in which makes it seem maybe supported?

Ticket: https://github.com/parca-dev/parca-agent/issues/161

Demo: https://github.com/parca-dev/parca-demo/pull/18
