<p>Where and how do you host your Go projects?</p>
<p>Also is the application production, a personal project or just testing.</p>
<p>Curious to see the different ways companies and people deploy and host their apps.</p>

To deploy, I just push to git and pull on it and build. I used to have a homemade auto deploy but it had too many points of failure. </p></pre>mcouturier: <pre><p>Same but I cross-compile on my machine, push the binary then reload the service (all with ansible)...</p></pre>wot-teh-phuck: <pre><p>Yeah, I have always think about the need to "pull" a repo on your production/deployment box when Go offers cross-compilation out-of-the-box.</p></pre>GazZy422: <pre><p>Use a free account on Openshift. Just for testing and personal projects (few bots and such)</p></pre>kaeshiwaza: <pre><p>Dedicated server with Debian for production and personal projects as a freelancer. I do this since decades and wonder if on the cloud I could gain something ?</p></pre>Fennhella: <pre><p>Depends, if you really need high availability and reduced amount of ops the cloud can give you it pretty easy (Hosted services like DBs, load balancers, Object store etc) without configuring it yourself (Multi-datacentre, 24/7 monitoring etc).</p>
<p>Also if your workload has spikes or is growing pretty fast you can automatically increase the number of servers up and down and be billed by the hour or even minute depending on cloud provider.</p>
<p>Though, one of the many good things about Go is that it has really good performance so 1 box can get you pretty far.</p>
<p>If things are going smoothly as it is I would say you no need to change and reevaluate if you ever encounter issues where a cloud provider could help.</p></pre>HarveyKandola: <pre><p>We use AWS:</p>
<ul>
<li>Docker images contain Go binaries and other non-code dependencies</li>
<li>Docker images on private Docker Registry</li>
<li>EC2 CloudInit pulls down latest Docker image and runs it</li>
</ul>
<p>App behind AWS load balancer.</p></pre>kardianos: <pre><p>ibm bluemix</p></pre>metamatic: <pre><p>For anyone interested, here's the <a href="https://console.ng.bluemix.net/pricing/" rel="nofollow">Bluemix pricing page</a> including info about the free tier.

Wercker has a great guide about deployment to Digital Ocean that will help you set everything up quickly</p></pre>mvitorino: <pre><p>Google App Engine. Most of persomi.com production services (<a href="http://www.persomi.com" rel="nofollow">www.persomi.com</a> is Wordpress on App Engine but not Go obviously).</p></pre>kd7nyq: <pre><p>Because of the nitpicking that most of my projects require, I prefer to use VPS hosts. I also have a fairly controlling attitude about software systems, so if I can't replicate the environment in-house, I'm less likely to use it. I <em>hate</em> surprises. </p>
<p>To answer your question more specifically, though... As a freelancer, I hosted on Linode with CentOS, using upstart at the time. Most of my employers have either hosted in-house or on Amazon.</p></pre>bakunin: <pre><blockquote>

</blockquote>
<p>Amen to that.</p>
<p>While that magic system that promise you a life on easy street <em>might</em> work fine forever, you are susceptible to lock-in creep over time. Also, you can never be sure the vendor won't introduce breaking changes that require a lot of unplanned work, or perhaps even a change of subscription.</p></pre>SeerUD: <pre><p>I've got a few VPS instances at Digital Ocean which I use for more personal things, and a dedicated server with OVH that I drop all of my major projects on.</p>
<p>I usually use Jenkins to deploy, but am currently evaluating Drone as a potential alternative. The deployment process I use is centred heavily around Docker, and that doesn't really work as nicely with Jenkins as it does with Drone.</p>
<p>I've been considering moving my stuff to some less powerful machines, but at the moment I'm also hosting some Java and Scala apps that are a bit more resource hungry. Hence the dedicated server (so I can abuse the 64GB of RAM... that I wouldn't need if everything was Go!)</p></pre>rek2gnulinux: <pre><p>digitalocean</p></pre>gempir: <pre><p>Digital ocean for smaller stuff and if I need more power I have been trying out scaleway.

<p>Where and how do you host your Go projects?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>On *nix: Behind a reverse proxy of some sort. Look up "pound".</p>
<p>On Windows and IIS: Using the "URL Rewrite" module.</p>
<p>In either case: Open up an unused port, say 8080, and use the above solutions to transparently route incoming traffic from port 80/443 to the port allocated to the Go service.</p>

<p>Internal-facing and in production.</p></pre>25600mah: <pre><blockquote>

<p>It's been a while since I used Pound, but when I did it required frequent restarts due to memory leaks. This was on a somewhat high traffic site, averaging ~1000rps, peaking around ~1700.</p>
<p>I made the move to nginx for reverse proxying/load balancing/ssl terminating a few years ago, and I couldn't be happier.</p></pre>trumae: <pre><p>We use Heroku and Virtual machines on Microsoft Azure.</p></pre>eyecikjou567: <pre><p>I run a Gogs Server behind a Nginx Proxy on AWS.</p>
<p>The Nginx is currently squished into the Gogs Server, eventually it'll handle all traffic and proxy all connections (TCP proxy ftw) to their respective service.</p>
<p>One application is production, hosted on the Gogs but deployed on a docker engine elsewhere (basically out-of-my-hands deployment).</p>
<p>The rest is mostly personal projects (currently a Reddit API Toolset) or just messing with go.</p></pre>geordano: <pre><p>linode</p>
<p>production</p></pre>DeedleFake: <pre><p>Docker on Digital Ocean. I stick a Dockerfile in <a href="https://www.github.com/DeedleFake/ps2avglogin" rel="nofollow">the project repo</a>, and then I just have to pull and run <code>docker build</code>, followed by <code>docker run</code>, on <a href="http://104.236.47.160/" rel="nofollow">the host</a>.</p>
<p>If you use a referral link, such as <a href="https://m.do.co/c/034b92b8fda5" rel="nofollow">mine</a>, when making an account, then you'll get $10 of credit to start with, which is enough to run the cheapest droplet for 2 months. If you spend $25, then I'll also get $25 of credit.</p></pre>Mteigers: <pre><p>AWS</p></pre>pcj2bs: <pre><p>At work (VividCortex), we host everything on AWS.</p>
<p>Personal projects:<br/>
- Digital Ocean<br/>
- Vultr<br/>
- AWS<br/>
- BeagleBone Black (for a while, back when I had a colo)</p></pre>stroborobo: <pre><p>We've got an actual server here running Debian Jessie, no fancy cloud service. It's primarily serving PHP sites and stuff, but hosts three containers for Go apps as well. I wish we had AWS or something, so I don't have to fear it dying everyday, but time and money are rare these days.</p>
<p>For personal stuff I'm running a FreeBSD host, but that's going to change soon. Migrating to a BananaPi, not sure yet which way to go there though.</p></pre>DavidYangNo: <pre><p>you can deploy use nginx</p></pre>
