## Why should we use Golang?
Our Golang server has a much lighter memory footprint than our Spring Boot apps, which do more or less the same thing.
| Language | Framework | Memory Footprint | Video (asciinema) |
|:--------:|:-----------:|-----------------:|:--------------------------------------------------------:|
| Java | Spring Boot | 500 MB | [vid](https://asciinema.org/a/qlAlCexwOj3hygKDrSE6noHpN) |
| Golang | net/http | 5 MB | [vid](https://asciinema.org/a/72mpi0VXUF9K65oX5bZYqUWa1) |
See [this gist](https://gist.github.com/kevinmichaelchen/22ac37452979b05f78e99f775e249659)
for a fuller explanation. At best, embedded Tomcat runs at 120MB, which is still 24x higher
than what Golang consumes. Out of the box, embedded Tomcat runs 100x higher than Golang.
