The webserver will rarely be your bottleneck. Your application or database will be long before the webserver is.

  I don't find it convincing to switch to a slower alternative.

    What are your performance requirements? Go is fast enough for Google. It's too slow for you?

      Aren't proxy server more performance critical than usual backend code?
      - mholt 4y ago
        No. The proxy is almost never the bottleneck.
