title: Golang production web application configuration
body: <p>For those of you running Go backends in production:</p>
  
  <p>What is your stack / configuration for running a Go web application?</p>
  
  <p>I haven't seen much on this topic besides people using the standard library net/http package to keep a server running. I read using Nginx to pass requests to a Go server - <a href="http://mwholt.blogspot.com/2013/05/writing-go-golang-web-app-with-nginx.html">nginx with Go</a></p>
  
  <p>This seems a little fragile to me. For instance, the server would not automatically restart if the machine was restarted (without additional configuration scripts).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a more solid production setup?</p>
  
  <p>An aside about my intent - I'm planning out a Go powered REST backend server for my next project and want to make sure Go is going to be viable for launching the project live before I invest too much into it.</p>
