Golang Optimizations for High‑volume Services

Diving into the world of high-volume services, a recent post on Golang optimizations sparked a lively discussion on the best practices for squeezing out top performance. Commenters were quick to point out that the post's suggestions, while insightful, lacked concrete metrics to back up their impact, with some calling for transactions per second comparisons before and after the proposed changes. As the conversation unfolded, alternative JSON libraries like goccy/go-json emerged as potential game-changers, while others debated the merits of reusing objects and utilizing sync.pool to minimize allocations. The thread ultimately converged on a shared understanding that controlling allocations and mindful engineering are essential for all services, not just high-volume ones.
