nginx + Go - fcgi vs http

[Jose]

What do you recommend for a nginx + Go server configuration:

fcgi or http proxy ?

thanks

[Maxim Khitrov]

net/http and net/http/fcgi have identical Serve functions, so it's
very easy to implement both. I have an app that runs its own http
server for debugging locally, but uses fcgi behind nginx in
production. The latter should be more efficient.

There are some benchmarks here with Go + nginx HTTP and Go + nginx FCGI: https://gist.github.com/hgfischer/7965620

FCGI, even via a unix socket, seems to be substantially slower. Of course, remember to take benchmarks with a grain of salt, but it's still worth considering (and perhaps bench on your own system).

Go's FCGI hasn't been heavily used or optimized.  Its HTTP server has.
