These days, server-class machines are often ephemeral and spun up-and-down based on demand. At work, I operate services that have 2 GB of Java code packages, and others that use a single 10 MB Go binary. Guess which one can scale up much more quickly to handle increased demand?
- wokwokwok 6y agoObviously. ...but the point being made is at 10% reduction, a 9MB and a 10MB binary are indistinguishable. They scale almost identically. so... it seems a bit like premature optimisation to devote such a large amount of effort to what appears to be a win that affects virtually no one except those few (FANG) who deploy to thousands of services daily.
