It seems that this is what the found team was most comfortable with, so it makes sense that they proceeded to solve problems using tools they already knew well. At some point, they exhausted how far they could take their existing tools and started investing into new tools.

What Go web framework did they move to?

  It doesn't say, but probably none. My guess would be they just used "net/http" + Gorilla (maybe). Gorilla: http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/ http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/

    Given it sounds like this application is not "web facing" (i.e. not an API nor rendering HTML), the use of any "web framework" or Gorilla doesn't make much sense.

      I write back-end stuff like this all the time and it often has admin interfaces.

  I imagine at their size they're using raw Go without any framework.

  We're not using a framework. This is a tiny component and the rest of Disqus is still Django.
