Golang binaries are astonishingly simple to deploy.
Stephan Schmidt
...I have deployed a Golang application to a cloud server. The result of the build is one executable. The Go web application had all files like configurations (no credentials), static css and html templates embedded with embedfs (and proxied through a CDN). So no jar or ear files, no npm or pip and no Docker. Just one binary copied to the server, started and monitored with Systemd. Systemd also restarts the app daily to make sure it works properly long term. As Go starts up tremendously fast, and as Systemd is keeping the TCP connections, there is no impact to users.
