My only grievance with Go in the cloud is that it's tedious to have to set up a CI job or similar to build your binaries to deploy in your functions. I really wish I could just ship the source code and have it compile for me (or failing that, if CloudFormation or AWS SAM or Terraform or whatever could transparently manage the compilation).
For us it's as simple as docker build right from the repo -> push to registry for test deployment then tag with prod for rollout from there.
Probably not ideal for 20+ dev teams or high complexity deployments but this is the simplest CI and its much quicker build than node, so dev's can do it locally in all cases.
Very interesting, Can you give some specific examples of where CI/CD tools which works fine for large organizations for other programming languages don't work to your satisfaction with Go?
I think you’ve misunderstood the thread. I was arguing that you can get away with “dev builds image locally and pushes straight to prod” in an early startup, but in a mature organization you need CI/CD.

So I thought your CI/CD works to your satisfaction for other programming languages, But you found Go tedious and so I wanted to understand some specific cases.
