But static binary is way bigger than 10loc snippet, if I compile it to binary which is 6.7 megabytes in size on my laptop, and then scp to my server, it takes 10 minutes to upload meanwhile I can not do anything on the server because my network is saturated during uploading.
The case with SimpleHTTPServer is certainly not a production usage. Actually We built a server using net/http which handle 30 billion requests per day without any problems, and we use http.ServeContent for serivng static files. net/http is really good for us and we don't use nginx all. We just use LVS plus six backend servers. With regard to "production ready", someone suggests not using Go's tls: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/17053#issuecomment-246834654. I think It's kind of FUD. Not only do we use Go's https, we used it happyily and believe Go team can respond quickly to any possible security problems.
