Some Go(lang) tips

1. zerolog

   1 40 11,290 6.2 Go

   Zero Allocation JSON Logger

   

   What to use I prefer zerolog, but zap isn't bad either. Both boast zero-allocation, which is what you want for a task that should have the smallest possible impact on your application.

2. InfluxDB

   influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

   

3. zap

   2 54 22,937 6.4 Go

   Blazing fast, structured, leveled logging in Go.

4. easyjson

   3 11 4,662 5.3 Go

   Fast JSON serializer for golang.

   

   What to use Easyjson is about the top of the pack and it's straightforward. The downside of efficient tools is that they use code generation to create the code required to turn your structs into json to minimise allocations. This is a manual build step which is annoying. Interestingly json-iterator also uses reflection but it's significantly faster. I suspect black magic.

5. jsoniter

   4 13 13,700 0.0 Go

   A high-performance 100% compatible drop-in replacement of "encoding/json" (by json-iterator)
