Проектирование микросервисов на Go: типичные сложности и лучшие практики

Баланс между производительностью, читаемостью и поддерживаемостью — ключевая задача при разработке микросервисов на Go. На практике всё сложнее из-за неочевидных факторов: от влияния частоты вызовов GC на время отклика до последствий избыточной вложенности в контрактах API. Если не учесть эти нюансы, даже грамотно спроектированный сервис может просаживаться по RPS (requests per second) — или его может быть сложно обновлять и дорабатывать.Меня зовут Артём Кущ.
