That's not a joke. Go is a fast compiled language, and Go programs are self-contained executables. So you don't need containers. FCGI is an orchestration system, like Kubernetes. It's single-machine, but will start up and shut down processes as the load changes. A crashed process will be restarted. Host the web pages on a static page server, and use client-side Javascript for any dynamic stuff. Good for maybe 20-100 transactions per second. The database will be the bottleneck.

Boring, but useful.

> 20-100 transactions per second

In all seriousness, that is "no load". I know it fits 99% of all startups, and many larger companies too, but that's kind of the point.

I wouldn't do it differently though, I think it's a perfectly fine architecture :)

Ruby on Rails applications with even a modest amount of ActiveRecord work would like a word xD

Couple thousand per second is expected on my Go services (per node) before any optimizations.

If so, you may want to rent more than one server and set multiple web servers with a centralized database. Like people did in the 90s!

But that will cost more than $10/month.

That's huge supermarket inventory system top load. Or rather, the lower end of that is huge supermarket inventory system top load.

Depends on the service. For b2b that is already a lot.
