It actually wouldn't be too hard to build a MacOS tool for building scratch Docker containers with a cross-compiled Go binary. The docker image format roughly just a tar file containing a manifest json file and a tar file containing the root filesystem. * Sure Lambda is pretty simple (just upload a zip!) and is very similar to what Google AppEngine has been doing since 2008 (AppEngine also uses zip). But you are signing up for complete lock-in... Also, it's depressing to note that MacOS is now the only major operating system that does not have support for native Linux containers without the use of a VM. * * * https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/image/spec/v1.md https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/image/spec/v1.md * * https://www.hanselman.com/blog/DockerAndLinuxContainersOnWindowsWithOrWithoutHyperVVirtualMachines.aspx https://www.hanselman.com/blog/DockerAndLinuxContainersOnWin...
